Did you know that your favorite sticky note brand has an app? I had no idea that Post-it had its own app until I stumbled upon it this week! While exploring the app I found that it may be the perfect solution to a problem I have run into in almost every classroom. Students are naturally curious. They are constantly asking questions, many of which are off topic and cause the class to get sidetracked. I have thought about using sticky notes before to have students write down random questions or unrelated comments but they can be costly to give out to students everyday. The Post-it app is a great solution to this problem.
Students can scan and digitize a picture of their notes/questions and upload them to the board, or they can select a sticky note on the app and write it on the screen (saving paper!). Different boards can be created for different groups, classrooms, or subjects.
At the end of the day or the end of class, the notes can be read and comments and questions can be addressed at a more appropriate time. This app can be a real time saver in the classroom and help teach students about when it is appropriate to ask off task questions or input irrelevant comments. Addressing comments and questions can also help build relationships with students and and teach discipline and focus skills.
The Post-it app can be downloaded on apple devices, windows, and android.
