Recap is a free student response and self-reflection app. I heard about this tool last year and didn't fully realize it's potential until recently. Instead of asking a student a question via paper or even somewhere online and having them respond by writing or typing the answer, Recap allows students to record their answer via their smartphone, iPad, iPod, computer, etc. You can select the amount of time you wish them to have to answer the question, you can specify which students receive the question, and you can include an "Assess Yourself" poll question so the student has the opportunity to say if the "Got it" "Partially got it" or "Didn't get it".
When the student logs in, it pulls up their dashboard which lists all of the recap questions that teacher has asked with the corresponding due date.
The teacher can then see all of the students' responses for that particular question when they've submitted their video. This can be used for formative assessments or just reflections. Take a look at Recap's blog to get ideas of ways you can use it in the classroom. The video below is what teachers are saying about the Recap App.
Recap is great for all content areas and gets students thinking on a higher level. Try it out and let me know what you think!
