Introducing Otus- A 1:1 Solution for iPads and Chromebooks

Created by teachers who needed to simplify the process of getting multiple items handed out to their students in a 1:1 classroom, "Otus is an easy-to-use, yet powerful classroom tool that brings the best iPad and Chromebook education features together into one secure environment." (iTunes)
     
                                                                                  
The creation of Otus came out of the need to solve the issue of students having multiple tabs, windows, apps, and/or documents open at one time, and having difficulty following where they were supposed to be during a lesson.  

With Otus, teachers can now provide students everything they need in one location including assessments, polls, documents, items from Google Drive, and more.  

 


If you're looking to create a more blended environment and distribute lesson materials and assessments to students, Otus is a tool worth exploring. 

PS- Both the Teacher and Student versions of Otus are absolutely free.
