It's kind of like a cross between a textbook/book w/ iBooks author mixed in, where an educator can take any content from a textbook, web page, or online media and then digitize it to be read on any device (i.e. laptop/mobile platform). This is perfect for educators who like the adaptability to teach what "THEY" want to teach and not having to stick by the textbook. They can spend more time teaching and less time lecturing. GOCLASS GoClass is an amazing web tool/app for creating lessons that can done on mobile devices. This is all done through an innovative user interface where educators use the web to create their students/class/courses and then have students complete them on their mobile devices. Best of all, the teacher creates all the content, student accounts, and then has the option to "lock" down the device while they are presenting a lesson to them and "unlock" them for assignments to be completed. Finally, educators can then assess students work and in real-time while archiving and generating reports. Google Account Set-Up: Start HERE!
