Classtime

Victoria Shapran, teacher of geography, biology and chemistry of the Central Ukrainian Scientific Ly

Pros:

What does it take for a teacher to be happy? Of course, students want to know your subject. Interest them. And if you are interested - then, accordingly, useful and modern. Therefore, I am always looking for new applications that could help me intensify the learning process, make it dynamic and effective. So when I found Classtime on Facebook, I no doubt just admired it. The application allows you to create unique and individual sessions for different classes. Manage the learning process according to class level. The functionality of the platform will satisfy the most demanding teacher! 9 types of questions and session settings make the process multifunctional. Premium or School License covers all functionality needs. Gamification, advanced functionality, time constraints to complete tasks and many other "features" will make any process exciting! Therefore, today online learning is closely intertwined with offline.

Cons:

But the most important thing is that the platform is constantly evolving and improving. The platform developers listen to me and my colleagues. And that's why it becomes so homely for us.

Such a flexible tool!

Pros:

There are so many things that I like: the different question types, the ability to see kids in live time, the fact that the kids don't have to have an account. It is all phenomenal! Also, the interface is just very easy to use. It doesn't take any time getting used to it.

Cons:

Two things: I would love to be able to assign a blocker where if students don't get the question right they can't move on. The second thing I would like is Matching questions.

Helps in Assessments`

Pros:

Classtime is easy to use; porting over test questions and materials is a breeze. I like that I can set time limits on students and I can monitor their progress in real time.

Cons:

Students seem to get confused on how to log in to the software. Some students, on certain kinds of assessments, get confused by the "answer" button they have to press to log/submit the answer for a particular question.

Powerful, purified and easy-to-learn

Pros:

A few hours to master its functions. Interface on learner side is very clear and simple.

Cons:

No tutorial in french related to the different types of questions.

If You're Not Using Classtime, You Haven't Tried Classtime!

Comments: I can't imagine teaching without Classtime. I don't know how I ever taught without Classtime. The price is incredibly low and the technical support is incredibly good.

Pros:

Far and away the dashboard. I have a fair amount of technical knowledge and experience, and I've never seen such a complete, yet easy-to-use tool. It's like a question-by-question scoreboard of student responses. I can see how students perform on each question, as they submit their responses. I can give them personal feedback through private messages. Using this dashboard I can, from my desk, literally be looking over the shoulder of every student. I also love the Classtime library. I can add entire question sets or only the questions I choose to my library. I can then edit the questions if I wish. I can take the question sets I've created and make them available to other users. It's a Classtime Professional Learning Community.

Cons:

There is nothing I can honestly say here. Really. In my opinion, Classtime is as close to perfect as you're going to get!
