With a background as classroom practitioners and technology analysts, we have the blended expertise necessary to define, design, and engineer innovative apps that improve the process and practice of teaching and learning.
Here are a few examples from our portfolio of apps we've designed and engineered for clients on a variety of platforms.
The Number Pieces app helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building their computation skills with multi-digit numbers. Students use the pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, regroup, add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
The Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more.
The Number Rack facilitates the natural development of children’s number sense. Rows of moveable, colored beads encourage learners to think in groups of fives and tens, helping them to explore and discover a variety of addition and subtraction strategies.
Learning in Context: Concept Mapping allows students to easily create mind maps, flowcharts, and concept maps. You can use it to create visual representations of ideas to help in brainstorming or as a visual aid for peers and teachers. Its simple to use interface lets you draw shapes, add text and connectors, and share with others. This app was created by Clarity Innovations with support from the Intel Corporation.
Learning in Context: Population Statistics guides students through collecting data about two statistical populations, visualizing statistical distributions, and drawing comparative inferences. Designed for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
Learning in Context: Reading Comprehension aids students in learning how to read text passages for comprehension. Students will collect and review vocabulary words, and will complete short exercises to check their understanding. This app is part of a series of education-specific apps commissioned by the Intel Corporation.
My Homework Reminder provides a simple means by which students and teachers can create simple reminders and to-do lists from within the Google Chrome browser. Users can add items, create due-dates, and view completed assignments without having to disrupt what they are currently working on.
