I've used the Doceri application to wirelessly write on my windows computer directly from my iPad for the last 8 years or so. It's been great for me since I can write over anything displayed on screen using my iPad and apple pencil. Unfortunately, my school is getting new computers (with Windows 11) and we were told that Doceri will no longer be available to us.
Does anyone know any programs similar to Doceri that I could use for this purpose? The caveat is that it has to work with an iPad since the district decided it would somehow be wise that we all have iPads with windows computers. Doceri was perfect for this, but I'm sure there has to be alternatives to this, right?
It looks ok, but definitely not as powerful as other systems. What do you like/not like about it? How much does it cost your school per student?
There are a few third party services that provide man-in-the-middle LTI/nonLTI interoperability, but they are pricy and introduce security concerns.
There are a bunch of libraries and local service shims so your tool that has a proprietary API can talk to any LTI service provider (e.g. Canvas, Schoology, etc).
The reverse, not so much. I can't find a single library / app / container / service that I can run locally that will let my tool which already speaks LTI (or OneRoster, etc) connect to even one non-LTI provider with a proprietary API (e.g. Google Classroom), let alone more than one.
Is there some keyword I'm missing from my searches, or does this thing really not exist?
I just came across a fascinating research report that explores how AI and VR could transform how MBA students develop essential business skills. The study highlights a demand for more immersive learning experiences, a need to bridge theory and practice, and the potential for personalized AI-driven feedback.
Thoughts? Are we on the verge of a new era in education? Check out the report https://www.rubixstudios.com.au/business-management/research-report-ai-vr/ and let's discuss! #EdTech #VR #AI #MBA
Almost seems impossible. What steps do I need to take/short courses etc. someone please help. Located in DC.
Hi, anyone here uses WordWall? Do you use the templates? For which lectures you think is more effective?
Feel free to suggest and/or give feedback on similar tools.
Thanks in advance!
I am moving onto my final interview for a customer support role and I wanted to see if anyone had any tips for the interview if they had done it before. Or if anyone just had any tips for a customer service role interview where you had to roleplay as the customer support itself. Also, there's a section where I'm supposed to teach and take notes so if anyone had any assistance on that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I wondered if AI could be used as a tool for curriculum advisors in higher education settings. With help from ChatGPT I coded a Python program that interfaces with GPT-4 and allows an advisor to ask questions like "How is this student doing in terms of graduation requirements?". The advisor loads the student transcript and the course catalog, and everything is sent to GPT-4 which performs analysis and returns an overview and identifies gaps. It's just a prototype but the code is here: https://github.com/nbk5876/AdvisorGPT
Has anyone transitioned from teaching technology in the classroom to educating/consulting/selling EdTech?
I have been teaching students and faculty how to use technology in the classroom for years, and I would like to take my graduate degrees and move into a consulting role in education.
Any advice? Are there any specific companies that may be a good fit?
Hi everyone,
I hope you're doing well. I'm on the lookout for meaningful volunteer opportunities with EdTech NGOs/NPOs.
A little about me: I recently transitioned to UX/UI Design after obtaining a Master's in Education. My passion lies in leveraging educational technology (EdTech) to promote personal growth, mental health, and overall well-being, whether it's for younger individuals or adults. I am based in Germany, but I am open to international NPOs/NGOs as well.
If you know of any great EdTech NGOs/NPOs that focus on personal growth, mental health, or similar areas, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations!
Thank you in advance for your suggestions and support. I'm excited about the opportunity to make a difference and contribute to meaningful causes through volunteering.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
I recently accepted a role at an EdTech company and will transition out of Student Affairs. I’m thrilled for the career pivot and really excited about my future. However, I’m not naive to the change of work and career.
I’d love to hear from ex-HE/SA who have switched out of the profession. How was the transition? Any advice? Where is a good place to focus efforts to continue career growth?
Thanks🤍
What other tools do you also use that hep you in teaching CS? Eg: If you teach on Scratch, what other tools you in complement with Scratch?
Hey people I'm doing my dissertation on attitudes towards AI in education. I really want to find out what teachers specifically think about this topic. If you are a teacher if you could please find two minutes to fill out this survey it would be super helpful!!!
Hello! Looking to take my Ed tech credential tests (CA) in the summer just to see what else I can land outside of the classroom (work wise). I don’t plan on teaching forever I barely even have experience in it tbh so I am looking to get out asap. If anyone has advice! :) TIA
Hi all, we are looking to invest in some updated coding and robotics hardware for our elementary school. We currently have some Beebots and some Sphero Indi cars. I'd like to offer a wider range of options for multiple grade levels. Can anyone make some good recommendations for products that will have a good lifespan?
I am a professor (in America), and sometimes I like to show my class videos. I usually purchase, rent, or subscribe to a streaming service to get a video, and then screen record it.
In the past I've had minor issues, but found a method that worked. No problems since.
Recently I tried to screen record a video, and almost nothing works. I begin to play the video, and then I click record. All I get is a black, blank screen with audio. After multiple attempts I jumped online (see links below) to try suggestions like OBS, Screenify, etc.
Screen Recording for Teachers :
Amazon, Google, Netflix, etc. are making it impossible to screen record videos. While piracy is a concern, these companies are completely ignoring there is an exception to showing copyrighted content for educational purposes.

(This is link is from UNT, but the information is still good law for teachers outside of Texas because it’s based on federal law.)

Any suggestions?
Hello! I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We are developing a tool that supports language access scheduling for education. (linguistlink.net). We're getting a lot of questions about FERPA and security. I'm looking for resources so that I can make sure our website complies with security requirements. Is there someone with some expertise on this topic? Or can you point me to resources? We're getting a lot of interest in this tool right now!
Is Anthology as expensive as people say it is? Anyone have real dollars? What does your specific SIS cost your org?
Hi! I work for an online learning platform for kids and want to team up with tutoring businesses (10-50 tutors). Any tips on finding and connecting with them? Happy to answer any more questions. Thanks in advance!
