Through GoClass, teachers can create and broadcast content directly to student devices—including Apple iPads, iPhones and iPod Touch devices —while simultaneously projecting supporting learning media to a shared screen. Virtual white boarding and scribble functionality enable collaborative interaction around learning exercises while real-time assessments and reports give teachers insight into cognitive gaps. If you do not already have a GoClass account, you can set one up for free at the GoClass website.
GoClass lesson plans are organized into three distinct sections—Show, Explain & Ask—allowing teachers to populate and organize images, documents, videos, URLs, teacher notes and assessments into a structured sequence of lesson plan elements.
Instructors equipped with the GoClass App on their iPads can share these elements with a class by broadcasting them to student devices or projecting them to the front of the room using a standard LCD projector or large screen TV. GoClass treats the projector and the student device as two independent channels for sharing content and the teacher has complete control over what is rendered on each channel.
Classroom management features provide instructors insight into student attention and engagement levels while in-class assessments provide instructors with immediate feedback on student performance.
This update to GoClass introduces new capabilities for you and your students. Instructors can initiate pin-based sessions allowing students to quickly access live sessions by simply entering a pin number—no username and password required.
This update also integrates the Scribble feature with GoClass Assessments. Students can now respond to assessment questions using the scribble feature to perform actions that demonstrate their knowledge.

Interesting

Interesting app. Does not seem to be fully developed yet. For instance, there is no landscape mode. Seems like a very promising app though as long as they continue to develop it.
Looked interesting, but ...

This app looked interesting and promising, but you have to register to use it. When you register (it is free to register) you have to agree to a long list of stuff, one of which is that they can sell, lend, loan ... all of the materials you create. Really? Guess that is the price of the free app. That really turned me off. Didn't agree to all of those conditions and deleted the app.
Cannot register

I've heard great things about the app, but once I fill out my information and hit register, it says Error!! Yes, with multiple exclamation marks and no reason as to why my entered information is causing an error.
This is a FANTASTIC teaching tool!

It's still a little buggy, but it is still in beta, so that is to be expected. I gave it 5 stars because my students love it and they are learning more by using it. And it's free, while every other app that offers similar features has a per-pupil price, or the free version is limited to 25 students...I wish I had 25...I have 32. Support is responsive and positive...they seem genuinely interested in the purpose of the app: student learning. Very pleased!
