Hapara is an online system which allows you to assign, monitor, and grade student work. This system work with Google Drive to allow students to work on and submit files to you the teacher. Teachers can actively see a student's computer screen and what tabs they have open on their computer in real time. Teachers also have the ability to lock or focus individual students, groups of students, or the whole class onto a particular website or websites for a set amount of time. This program allows students to work in groups or individually to complete assignments. Now this is a PAID program which is bought through districts or schools themselves.
Glitchy Teacher Review:
I have used this program for about 3 months in my classroom. I have been able to assign projects to my students, monitor their progress through the project, monitor their work to make sure they working on the assignment. I can have students focus on a particular website. I can create or borrow workspaces other teachers have created on Hapara. You are able to create a Workspace where you can create online projects, assessments, or whatever you can think of. The workspace allows you to do so much I would not be able to put it all down here (I would run out of room), please check out the videos and links below. Perhaps the best part of Workspace is it already makes a folder in your Google drive for your students to submit work to you to make grading easier (or any RTI or SST evidence)! If you are not sure about creating a Workspace you can also choose from the thousands of Workspaces already created by other teachers! This program offers so much I could go on and on. What I love best is the ability to take assignments, projects, etc and make them 100% digital. Since this works with a student's Google Drive they are able to work on this a home as well! The only negative to this program is each student will need a Google Drive to access the program and will need to download the extension to make sure the teacher ONLY parts work.
Glitchy Rating: I give this program a 5; I love this program. This program is constantly looking for feedback from teachers and students to improve and make the program better. While it takes time to get used to all that Hapara has available; once you do the benefits to you and your students is so great it is worth it!
