Introduction
Below is an honest comparison of ClassroomAPP with other common tools, based on public information and survey of previous users who switched. Click on the icon next to a topic to get more details.
The major differentiator is mission
We designed ClassroomAPP to be a teacher's tool for live use in the classroom; while others, owing to their original mission (e.g. web filtering / library management) are more administrative tools.We should note that we believe the tools mentioned below are excellent in their own right. But were designed for another purpose.
- You can launch ClassroomAPP from any browser tab (it loads on top of your webpage) so you can use your classroom dashboard real-time in-classroom.
- While others have packed their tools with a lot of control and real-time data features, we have moved those to the reporting side to make the interface fluid for classroom use.
- Deep integration with your LMS (e.g. Google Classroom) makes teaching & learning experiences seamless.
