hi welcome, Teachers Tech. My name is Jamie and it's great to have you here
I have something a little different tonight I'm bringing in an expert in
productivity I have Francesco from keep productive here and he's going to take a
look at some of the best productivity apps for teachers in 2023. take away Francesco
Jamie for having me here on teacher stack I'm very excited to bring all of you my
best recommendations for productivity tools for teachers in 2023. anyway folks let's dive into
them the first one on my list is todoist and I think todoist is such a great tool for keeping a
teacher organized especially as we go into this next year now the reason I recommend to do this
because it presents a great to-do list experience that's simple for everyone who wants to just get
started but has the complexity in the future for sharing projects for collaborating with others and
going deeper on your task management if you're trying to keep yourself organized with all the
things you need to do as a teacher this is one of the best all-round experiences for that number two
this one is slightly more advanced so it might not be suitable for everyone but it does present
a great option for those who are into research capturing notes and bringing their ideas together
in a collective space and the application is free and it's available to download all your
computer as well it's the nicest pure obsidian now obsidian is this PKM tool and you're probably like
what's a PKM tool it means personal Knowledge Management and that's basically a posh word for
personal note-taking but basically obsidian is a great way to keep everything organized
connect ideas together research and capture stuff as you go and really bring your note
taking into one location so if you're looking for a hardcore note-taking Solution that's going to
be great for making sure that you're connecting these ideas together great for journaling great
for all different scenarios recommend checking some videos about it obsidian is the tool for
that number three is explain everything I talked about this application a few times but as great
as a visual whiteboarding application but is a way to bring to life fun visuals for your students and
I would say it's one of the great ones as well for remote work especially if you have one or
two remote sessions a week with your students this one's really nice for that there are some
Alternatives so number four our app is Apple free form if you are using iPads in your classroom and
you want to get to the latest version of the iOS system they've got a brand new app called Apple
freeform which is great for collaborating in real time and being able to sketch stuff out as a class
so a great one for that if you're interested in using your iPad devices make sure they're on the
latest version moving on number five is Miro very similar to both explain everything Apple free form
it does take it a lot further but this is great for remote collaboration on ideas and thoughts
this is one of the best ways to get ideas and visualizations out to share with you and your
classroom and I think that a lot of people starting to use it to be able to bring these
lessons to life in connecting ideas creating flow charts and really using the community
templates are pretty extensive on here but I recommend the Miro for bringing to life some of
your lessons and finally if you and your students want to maybe get a bit more organized and watch
class timetable you've got coming up and what homework you've got coming up there's a great
app called subjects and it's again really well designed great for keeping your students
organized because in my opinion trying to keep your students organized can sometimes keep you
organized because they become more proactive individuals obviously it's difficult with the
ages I can imagine but at the same time if you have the opportunity to introduce an app to them
like this then this could keep them organized and focused for the classroom so folks thank you very
much for letting me dive into these applications thank you very much to Jamie for having me here
