Alchemy: SmartBinder

Description

Alchemy SmartBinder is the free, web-based lesson binder that captures data on student engagement and learning. With SmartBinder teachers can create their own digital lessons, deliver interactive material to their students, and capture data on student engagement and mastery.

  • Teachers can build digital lessons by embedding videos, images, websites, documents, and files of any type into a digital website. They can easily add their own descriptions, student directions, mastery questions to each portion of the lesson.
  • The Standards Mine allows teachers to drag-and-drop tag their lessons with Common Core State Standards or their customizable standards or skills they wish to track.
  • One-click website creation allows teachers to deliver their lesson material in class or at home in a clean and engaging, device-friendly interface that allows students to answer questions, show enjoyment and confusion with social buttons, or submit comments directly to the teacher.
  • Teachers capture a real-time data snapshot on their students’ engagement with lesson material, whether in-class or at-home. Teachers can see where students spent their time, how they responded to questions, what materials they liked or were confused by, and any comments they had. This all helps teachers with their real-time and longer term classroom planning.

SmartBinder allows teachers to harness the digital age, making their lives easier and empowering them to improve student engagement and performance.

As a lower school Spanish teacher of seven grades and a third grade homeroom teacher, I find that Alchemy SmartBinder is an easy and efficient tool for organizational purposes. I have folders for each of my courses and attach lesson plans, useful websites, handouts, worksheets, etc. Rather than scrambling to find a file or site for my class, I can keep my SmartBinder account open throughout the day, and easily access and one-click present whatever I want. I no longer need to have a plethora of folders and binders taking up space on my shelves; rather, I can rely on the SmartBinder! For someone who teachers numerous sections and grades, this program is a godsend.

SmartBinder is an intuitive LMS that streamlines the entire class – from homework to classwork to long term projects – in one versatile platform. Two things that set SmartBinder apart from other LMS systems – its social network connects you to the lesson plans of other teachers for easy sharing and collaboration AND SmartBinder makes comprehensive data collection on my students incredibly easy. Now I can borrow a highly rated lesson from a history teacher in California and then see how my students perform in all aspects of that work. A huge help to any 21st century educator!
