Organization Apps for teachers and students

Hi :)

 My main intention in the blog is to share with you my findings on  how everyday technology can make a difference in the learning routine.       

Well, considering that classes are going back in either August or September,I started thinking about all the enthusiasm and expectations that are part of the beginning of a new semester.
New books , materials, teachers, rooms... especially new promises when it comes to learning and having better grades.
Let's enjoy the high energy of the return to plan ahead for further days when both teachers and students will be tired and worn out from the routine and endless tasks to cope with.
I researched about Apps that can certainly help out.

 For teachers :
 *Teacher Timetable Helper

For Students: 
* My Homework

* Homework (this one can also be used by teachers, the first time you open it you have to choose between student or teacher option)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=klwinkel.huiswerk&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImtsd2lua2VsLmh1aXN3ZXJrIl0.
Organization is a key element for both students and teachers to keep up a good and productive pace during the semester.
Technology is widely available nowadays and I strongly believe it can add up to our life quality. 
It also enables students to take more responsibility for their own learning and performance from an early age. Children seem to be born tech literate already !
All the Apps mentioned above can be found in Google Play (for Android devices)
Are they also available for Apple devices ? Or are there others with the same purpose ?
I'd be glad if you could add up to this post :)

 Cheers :)

    Hey Guys,

    The app, myHomework is also available for iPhone. It has the same functions that are found in the Android as well. If you want to receive reminder about your tasks you must pay US$1,99, otherwise it's not possible to receive it.
    It's really worth a try, especially for absent-minded people!

    I hope I've helped u.

Rescuing your purposes and resolutions

This is the first post of 2018. May we all have a happy and prosperous new year !!! When blogging we tend to start off by having some resolutions in mind. Today with me it was not different but for one detail: Facebook brought up a memory of a blog post from january 2014. My new resolution back then was to start vlogging. http://informedteachers.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/informed-teachersvlog.html What I had in mind back then was that I would start posting more like in this fashion: a written part + a video http://informedteachers.blogspot.com.br/2014/02/apps-for-your-learning-success.html I kept this going for a short while and then went back to my traditional writing. When I came across this blog memory the first thing that came to my mind was:  why is it that we start off with many ideas for the new year and we actually get to work on them but this usually lasts for a short while , or at least shorter than we thought ? How about starting a new year by looking back at

At the doctor: Explaining symptoms

How to explain common symptoms at a doctor's office or E.R. ( Emergency Room ). There's an integration of video sitcom, audio recording of a doctor-patient typical dialogue and infographics for pair or group work activity and qr codes! Feel free to use everything as a class sequence or choose one of the activities to integrate with your class. This is very suitable for pre-intermediate levels and what I liked most is the fact that there is room for expanding on vocabulary and also having fun with the typical Friends jokes that come up. Warmer Elicit from students common causes of stress nowadays and typical symptoms people have because of that. Show video up to counter 0:56 Vocabulary Noticing Elicit from students the symptoms Phoebe is having due to job stress.
