Class, a new teaching tool by NoteBear, is a real-time feedback tool for teachers or professors. A simple rating system allows professors to keep a pulse on how many students are following the subject matter, organize student questions, and even poll students to real-time test their understanding.
My parents are both professors, and I find this product very interesting—I can tell you my folks would adopt it in a heartbeat if it locked their student’s screens to stay on subject and off of Facebook or Snapchat! As is, they might need a little convincing—but the polling ability might just win them over!
This looks brilliant. The idea is genius, to leverage the phones people are bringing in to classes and turning the distraction into focus and to improve the teaching. Really brilliant.
@ramgangisetty Hey Ram, this is actually for both. It is a bit more suitable for high school and university classes, but future releases will improve on the experience for younger students.
Seems like a good idea, but the price point is no bueno. I'm an elementary educator in a 1:1 environment and a tool like this could be awesome if it was affordable.
@chclteteacher We have a feature that will give you a free month on Class for every 2 colleagues you invite to the platform. We did this in an effort to make Class as affordable as possible for everyone. So you should be able to start using it right away 😊
Is there a limit to the number of students that can participate in a session? For instance if I teach an online seminar or something and I have over 1k students.
