Istation

Istation is an educational app that allows teachers to interact with their students and create new courses directly through a smartphone or tablet.

If you have been on the search for new remote teaching tools, then Istation might be a great option for you and your students. This Android app is an excellent piece of software for teachers who are in need of supplemental curriculum that can be completed remotely with Android or Apple devices. It covers a wide array of topics, and it is very easy for teachers to create accounts for all of their students.

While Istation won’t replace classroom teaching, it might be an excellent tool for supplementing your students’ educations. It can be used to teach topics such as reading, writing, basic math, and even foreign languages. After you pick out a subject and create accounts for your students, you can automatically assign homework or remote tests. As your students work on those subjects, Istation is going to record their progress and send it directly to your teacher portal.

The biggest benefit of this app is the curriculum development tool that gives teachers the ability to quickly create a variety of courses for their students. You can mix and match exactly which information you would like them to learn, and that level of customization can be very useful. The ability to remotely track your students is another great feature that this app has to offer. Within the teacher portal, you are going to see information such as how much time the students are spending within the app and which students are falling behind.

Unfortunately, Istation is based on a subscription service, and that could make it completely impractical for some teachers. That being said, you might want to take a closer look at this app if you have been searching for a way to supplement your coursework.
