FreshGrade

FreshGrade is a wonderful new tool for educators looking to create digital portfolios of their students work.  The way this works is through an easy to use mobile app (i.e. parents, students, and teachers) that allows teachers to capture student work through, video, audio, photos, text (notes), etc.  Also, FreshGrade easily allows educators to share student's work through a tap of a button, to either the student or parent.  Finally, using the web app a user can use FreshGrade to assign activities, assess them in real-time, and even differentiate instruction.

ClassCall

ClassCall is a excellent site for creating interactive presentations that reminds me of a cross between 9Slides and a backchannel chat tool.  ClassCall allows a user to import a presentation (i.e. Prezi, Powerpoint, etc) and then stream their presentation in real-time to a mobile device.  It also has a nice feature to ask questions or "poll" an audience which allows educators to assess learning and differentiate instruction.  This is also a nice way to "flip" a classroom and create webinars.

Tangram Chess

Tangram Chess is an excellent iOS game from the creator of MathFileFolderGames.  This is a multiplayer game that has students trying to move shapes using: rotations, translations, and reflections across a chess board.  The player to move their shape to the other side of the board first wins.  Best of all, as w/ most MFFG this app is bluetooth enabled which means that two players can play on multiple devices.
