Videos with embedded questions: Bring relevant video material to the classroom to help them to learn without feeling that they’re being taught. Embed polls and quizzes to keep them interested and excited. Get them involved, they’ll love it! Group assignments — personalized statistics: Set up your flipped & blended courses by adding your groups and assign your own video lessons. Responses from all embedded questions are recorded for you to see how each student has performed and how efficient your lesson was. YouTube videos as lessons: It's super-simple. You just assign a single video to your group, the rest is done by Metta: students get an automated notification to complete the task on time and when it's done you'll be notified too. But there is much more: you can string together multiple videos, add captions, pictures, sounds, quizzes or polls to the mix. You can freely combine elements from the web to compelling slideshows with voiceovers, to multimedia presentations or movies. Teach or learn: With Metta every member in a group can be a learner or a teacher. You can easily switch between learn and teach mode. When it’s time for students to present their actual subject, they can start teaching you or their peers. | Each activity-creation tool helps students develop historical thinking skills and gets them thinking like historians.

Organize as you type: Group notes together with hashtags. Simply put a pound sign ( # ) in front of any word to add a note to that category. Access anywhere: Fetchnotes is accessible on the web, iPhone, or Android, but you can also add notes via text, email, or our Chrome Extension. All your notes, everywhere you are. Share with anyone: Just tap the at sign ( @ ) and type a name in your address book, a username, an email or a phone number to share.
