Arloon Geometry vs Random Team Selector Pro

Can you imagine studying polyhedrons in Geometry class using Augmented Reality? A fascinating way to discover the world of geometry! This app features 3D models with Augmented Reality for most geometric shapes. By directly interacting with the figures, your students will improve their spatial visualization. * Winner of the Academics' Choice Smart Media Award (July 2014) * Learning Best Practice Award (October 2014) * 2nd prize winner of the “La Caixa Emprendedores XXI” awards for entrepreneurs (June 2014) * Winner of the first Lanzadera business incubator program (May 2013) “The power to unfold the figures is highly didactic.” Ovi Barceló, Math teacher at Julio Verne Bilingual School, Spain. “The students’ performance improves notably almost immediately.” José Antonio Pascual Gimeno, Teaching Director and Science Teacher at Julio Verne Bilingual School, Spain. *************************************** Geometry classes like never before: * View geometric shapes from all angles and see their sides unfold into flat figures. Geometry combines conceptual content (definitions and characteristics) with procedural content (applying formulae and calculus). * Curricular content and exercises to: • Study prisms, regular polyhedra, bodies of revolution, pyramids • List their properties and the formulae that define their area and volume • Compare and identify objects in the environment with geometric shapes using Augmented Reality • Develop spatial imagination by observing 3D and flat models • Interact and discover each formula step by step • Work through exercises to practise what has been learned: guess the geometric shape, confirm characteristics and calculate area and volume * The content of this application for students from 11 years of age is completely curricular. Content is available in English and Spanish. Hundreds of schools around the world are already learning with ARLOON! * Learning Outcomes: • Cognitive Development • Critical Thinking • Engagement and Usability • Creative Development • Life Skills • Academic Relevance * Acquisition of 21st-century skills: • Scientific: geometry terms and definitions • Mathematical: geometric shapes, area and volume • Digital: studying with new technology • Learning to learn: experimenting and actively searching for answers to promote self-learning • Artistic: developing spatial imagination and the capacity for abstraction specific to geometry • Linguistic: building multilingual vocabulary (English and Spanish)

Do you need to divide your class (or a part of your class) into a number of groups (or teams) for class activities? Why not do this in a Fun and Engaging way with the Random Team Selector Pro App? You will create your own groups and teams of course, but to get you started, the app is pre-populated with example Groups, Events and Teams. For example there is a "Baseball Tournament" (An Event), with the following "Teams" allocated to it: Chicago Cubs Majestics New York Yankees Red Dragons Team Awesome Wildcats Each defined "Team" can be switched On/Off. There are also predefined "example" Groups. These are called: Miss Smith's Class Year 7 Maths Year 8 English Each of the above groups is populated with Names (or Students), these can also be switched On/Off (to allow for absentees etc.). Once an Event (e.g. Baseball Tournament), and a Group (e.g. Year 8 English) are selected, the user selects the required Theme from the five "Themes" in the app, and then goes to the main screen of the app where the names in "Year 8 English" are randomly distributed into the "Teams" contained in the Baseball Tournament (Event). Simply create a class group, enter the names of your students, select how many teams you want to divide them into (you can select up to 8 teams) and then choose from one of the built-in themes...Jungle, Dino, Metal, Underwater and Space (with more to come). Each theme has it's own animations and sound effects to keep the app fresh and exciting for students. The app helps with the entry of multiple Groups (Classes etc.) and Group Members (Students etc.) by allowing the teacher to import Groups and Group members from either a text file or a CSV file. You can import tens or even hundreds of names in one go! The integration with the cloud (Free Dropbox account required) means all Groups, Group members, Teams and Team Collections can be shared (synced) across a number of devices using the same Dropbox account. You can even share Groups and Group members with our Random Name Selector Pro app! .... just search for "Random Name Selector Pro" on the app store. The names of the Students will be displayed randomly and automatically allocated into a team. The custom graphics, sound effects and animations will ensure the students never get bored. An unlimited number of class groups of up to 32 “active” students in each group is supported. Student names can be made active and non-active if you only want to include a subset of the class. Student and group names are easily created, edited and deleted. There is a feedback form in the app to report any issues directly to the developers or to request changes or enhancements to the app. We encourage you to use this as we want to make this app the best it can be!
