As an example, we are going to use the Teacher\u2019s Dashboard<\/a> of the BOOKR Class app as a reference. BOOKR Class is a digital interactive library app for language learners accompanied by an extra platform for educators – the\u00a0 Teacher\u2019s Dashboard. The examples for the features and options are focused on the interactive books, yet the description of the most important aspects can be applicable to other <\/span>educational technology solutions<\/span> as well.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”tracking-students-activity”][vc_column] Student activity\u00a0 can be tracked in many different ways, using their log in and log out dates, completed tasks\u00a0 or results. The amount of information gained varies on the platform. Based on this,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”highlight-box”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”b16strong_blue” css=”.vc_custom_1632402761514{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]You can start a personal conversation with the student in need and assure them that you care about their learning process, problems and difficulties.<\/span> A short conversation is a small gesture that can make a huge difference. can make a difference.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If students work, but their processes are not satisfactory, the teacher is able to immediately deduce what the problem might be.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”highlight-box”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”b16strong_blue” css=”.vc_custom_1632402794797{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Another scenario is when your students work well. In such ideal conditions, you might find the information from the statistics insightful.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]First of all, take a deep breath and praise yourself for creating such a productive and motivational\u00a0 learning environment where your students want to work.<\/span> Then, observe and analyse their choice of activities, games or exercises they complete. <\/span>With BOOKR Class, you <\/span>can seecansee<\/span> the students\u2019 choice of books and topics, which helps differentiation and the personalisation of activities and assignments.<\/span> You can get to know your class better. Let\u2019s look at some examples:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Then, take a closer look at their achievements, such as their streak, scores or <\/span>time spent reading with the BOOKR Class app. <\/span>Teacher appreciation is extremely powerful for students, so praising them, giving awards, a good grade or any motivating feedback, even a smile (or a \u2018not bad\u2019 Obama face meme) is a must in the language classroom. A competition can also be generated that keeps them excited and exposed to quality language input.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4830″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”orienting-among-content”][vc_column] In the case of<\/span> educational technology solutions<\/span> for English language learners, you can search for items, e.g. worksheets, games, flashcard sets, books, activity tips, according to their difficulty level. In most cases, <\/span>just like with BOOKR Class, they rely on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2)<\/span> or use classic terminology that can be aligned with the CEFR (elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another very useful feature is the dropdown list where you can pick a topic or grammar structure that you would like to work with. These topics are usually the umbrella terms that are easy to\u00a0 interpret, and <\/span>not abstract expressions fueled by the fantasy of the authors. Simplicity is the key when it comes to admin websites.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4829″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With BOOKR Class, you can pick from several dropdown lists (BOOKR Class level, genre, topic, grammar, accent) and you can type in what you need in the search field, e.g.: \u2018will\u2019 or \u2018countries\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When clicking on the search results, valuable information pops up regarding the content of the item, and whether it is a worksheet, book or flashcard set.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4828″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_row_inner el_id=”teachers-dashboard”][vc_column_inner] This feature makes differentiation easier and personalises the learning process, making it more effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In summary, when picking an <\/span><\/i>educational technology solution<\/span><\/i>, it is important to check several aspects of the tool, not only the quality of language and visuals, but also how to optimise the content for your students\u2019 needs. It results in a better learning experience, engagement and motivation and of course, the improvement of their linguistic skills and language proficiency.<\/span><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Learn more about the BOOKR Class Teacher Dashboard<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n1.
