Or publish an assignment? Or fix a misspelling? Canvas Teacher allows you to update your course content. Canvas Teacher is the perfect mobile Canvas companion for course facilitation! |

Popsicle Sticks: Teacher Picks
Popsicle Sticks: Teacher Picks replaces your mug of popsicle sticks. Use it to randomly and effectively select and group students and to score responses during discussions.
RANDOM SELECT Select students randomly one student at a time. Use the "Random Bar" slider to precisely set the "randomness" of the next selection; from "uncalled students only" to "completely random" (and everywhere in-between). And although your students may not always love being selected, they will love hearing your phone say their name when you turn on the text-to-voice feature. RANDOM GROUPS Put students into random groups with just a couple taps. If the groups need a little tweaking, you can "swap" students with the Swap button. Utilize the Share button to export the groups (onto a white board, for example). And if you're planning to use the same groups tomorrow, just tap save. SCORED DISCUSSION Use Scored Discussion to track student responses during discussions. Just tap on a score as students give answers. Popsicle Sticks will display a running total for each student and automatically save the scores for future discussions. You can select students randomly (of course) or manually (by just tapping on a name). Save multiple discussions for various subjects, and easily export the scores to Excel or another application. RANDOM LIST Random List displays your class list in random order. Need a better system for picking the next student to take down the attendance, or to choose a birthday donut? Random List is the answer. Create, save, and export random lists for just about anything. Use Popsicle Sticks: Teacher Picks as a student picker, grouper, "lister", and scorer! Free on App Store
