My Take

Doceri is a wonderful teaching tool. Gone are the days that I buy the expensive poster paper so student can rewrite their problems in large print so the whole class can see it. I have my students work in groups or 2 or 3 and display their problem up on the teacher screen while they explain how they solved it.

How I Use It

I use Doceri as an interactive whiteboard to create lessons for blended learning. It has several useful drawing tools and backgrounds as well as the ability to import or use the camera to take pictures to use as a background. I can record my voice as I solve math problems so my students can listen and watch on their iPads as many times as they need. It allows me to share via Google Classroom, Padlet, SeeSaw, OneNote, etc. or save the video to my iPad. I also have students use it for the same purpose so they can explain how they solve math problems. The only negative I noticed was a small watermark in the lower right corner.

Excellent: and the non-text feature, you can copy and paste text from a text box in PP or Word. Problem solved.

I like it a lot. It frees me from sitting behind a desk or stuck to the smartboard. I can move around the room, and I can switch between Doceri and Nearpod as I am attempting to do. The non-text part that people put as a con simply means they have yet to try copy & paste. I can write text in either word or PP (typing or voice to text) and then copy and paste any text I want into Doceri. I also create equations in word, snap the equation (as a picture) and then place them in doceri. I only handwrite the solutions (showing work) and nothing else. It is much more versatile then people give it credit for.

Great to use to explain a work of art

I felt this was a useful app because I teach seven sections of three different grade levels. This app allows me to create content I can use over and over so I am not personally repeating myself for all classes. The content / vocabulary is the same each time.

Easy way to flip your classroom

Doceri is a must for teaching in the 21st century..As families look for more flexible school options, it is imperative that we as teachers can offer our lessons in a way that meet the needs of our learners and their families. I've seen Doceri used to capture exactly what happens in the classroom for students who are out sick, out for field trips or performances and for students who simply need to hear the material presented again. The lessons can also be edited later if necessary. Doceri makes it easy to move around the classroom freely while capturing notes, presentations, questions and answers. I once saw a teacher use it from the front of the room controlling her computer that was in the back of the room and the recording picked up her voice clearly, picked up sounds from the computer clearly, and picked up student questions from around the room. You simply load the app on your iPad and then load the desktop software piece on your computer. It takes just a few minutes to get set up and by simply pressing record you are on your way to providing your students and others with an easy way to learn content whenever and wherever they choose.
