 Hello there. My name is Ross McGill. You can find me on Twitter at Teacher Toolkit, the most followed educator on Twitter in the UK. This video is a review of an ed tech tool called Junior, which is a piece of software that teachers can use in their classrooms to engage their students and to take formative assessment to the next level. What I'd like to show you through this video is some screenshots, talk you through all the different features, and essentially show you how you can feedback the students in real time and hopefully engage with their progress to another level. I've just published a new book called Mark Planteech. What's great about Junior is it mirrors that exact same process. So for example, I can annotate a student's piece of work live in the lesson and give them immediate feedback. That not only reduces workload, but it enables students to make better progress there and then in the lesson. Every good teacher will know that marking is a dialogue and that it should interact and adapt to meet the needs of the students. This is the same within Unio. As you assess the students' work, students can respond live, they can respond online, whether they're outside the lesson, and you may be familiar with the terms flipped or blended learning, which essentially allows the students to sometimes take control, sometimes allows the teachers to take control from the front, and sometimes it asks the students to prepare some of their knowledge and understanding outside the lesson and then bring it back to the classroom. Unio offers this lovely feature called live marking, which is something I advocate in my book Mark Planteech, which not only reduces the workload and the requirement for teachers to take marking home, but it makes sure that you can build in a marking dialogue within your lessons to reduce the workload, but also help students make immediate feedback on your comments. It's something I'd highly recommend you check. In terms of the planning process, within Unio, teachers can upload their own resources. So the resources are there, you can embed files and videos and whatever else you need to do, and that allows the teacher to move around the lesson. There's a real danger when you put kids in the classroom with computers that everyone's facing the wall away from the teacher and the teacher becomes stuck at the desk. Unio alleviates that issue by allowing the teachers to plan cognitively, to have resources uploaded there and then in the lesson if need be, and also to use resources from other sources so that it reduces the workload and allows them to interact with the students in the lesson. One point I'd like to make is that Unio supports the teacher to support the students' needs. Differentiation is one of the biggest challenges teachers face in the classroom, and Unio gives that option to differentiate learning, to upload various resources, to map all the student needs all together on the teacher screen. It's also been designed in collaboration with teachers. Unio is a piece of software that can help teachers with their lesson planning, but also more importantly I believe, is to allow teachers to give that immediate feedback in lessons that's a very difficult thing to crack. Differentiation is one of the hardest challenges teachers face, and if you can see all the students work on your screen, if you're in that position where you can give immediate live marking feedback, reduce the burden, stop taking all that marking home, Unio is a piece of software that's well worth checking out, so it's highly recommended from me, it's something I would use in my classroom, and I really think that you should consider it too. I hope you found the video useful, you can follow me on Twitter at Teacher Toolkit, and follow all the various links on this video to find out more about the piece of software that I've reviewed.
