Popularity and hardware choices
MetaMoJi ClassRoom for Chromebook provides the same functionality found on the iOS and Windows versions of the app, providing educational institutions with a wider range of cost-effective hardware choices.
A Chromebook is a laptop running the Linux-based Chrome operating system. The devices, priced for and hugely popular in schools, are primarily used to perform a variety of tasks using the Google Chrome browser, with most applications and data residing in the cloud rather than on the machine itself.
The most popular Chromebook manufacturers in 2017 included Acer, ASUS, Samsung, HP and Dell.
Create and distribute lesson plans
ClassRoom provides teachers with a means to create and distribute lesson materials, arrange students into working groups, and to collect their work for review. During lessons, teachers can view the work students are doing in real-time, with a split screen allowing multiple students to be monitored at any time. A particularly powerful feature for remote learning assistance is the ability for the teacher to edit the student’s workbook directly in real-time.
Automated back-ups
For students, ClassRoom allows individual or group activities to be completed as though using pen and paper, but with the added benefits of automated back-ups. During lessons students can request assistance from a teacher, directly from within the application. The teacher can then provide 1:1 assistance where it is needed.
Realtime collaboration
Said MetaMoji’s EMEA sales director Ben Walshaw : “For students working on projects in groups, ClassRoom provides a real-time, cost-effective collaboration feature where they can remotely access the same document and see each other’s changes happen in real-time.”
Added Walshaw: “Older students can use ClassRoom as their primary note taking tool, even where the lesson materials are not delivered through ClassRoom. When presenting lesson materials, teachers can use ClassRoom projected to a whiteboard or connected to a TV. During this time the teacher can lock student’s devices to ensure they are given their full attention.”
Tools and sharing
ClassRoom comes with a large variety of tools to create content. A huge variety of pen shape and colour combinations can be used along with images, website capture, stamps and more.
The final content can be saved in shared folders within the application, or saved as PDF documents and stored or emailed.
