Doceri in the Classroom
Effective teachers interact with their students, not whiteboards
Traditional blackboards and interactive whiteboards confine you to the front of the room. At a fraction of the cost of an electronic board, Doceri allows you to move freely about the room, allowing you to easily monitor students, ensuring that they are on task and meeting educational objectives.
Prepare ahead of time or change it on the fly!
With the Doceri System, you can prepare your presentation in advance using your favorite presentation software, or entirely within the Doceri annotation application using the handwriting and drawing capabilities of the iPad. You can play back your presentation at the speed that you created it (or faster), amending it at any time, as you desire. Easy-to-use playback options allow for continuous "play" of the handwritten notes or frame by frame as you would normally do with presentation software.
Imagine watching your lesson write itself
The playback feature simulates the act of writing and drawing of prerecorded material, eliminating your need to hover in front of the board, blocking it from view. Watching ideas unfold through the act of handwriting and drawing is compelling. Research suggests that handwriting promotes cognitive development. In the computer age handwriting is in decline. Doceri brings handwriting back into the digital age, allowing for the electronic authoring of handwritten materials. Doceri keeps the skill of handwriting alive, but now with undo/redo and edit capabilities that enhance the process.
Performance anxiety
Most students do not enjoy standing at the board in front of the classroom. With Doceri, you can pass your iPad to any student, allowing them to present to the whole classroom comfortably without performance pressure. Less shuffling of bodies saves everyone's time.
