Description
Teachers can set up a virtual book club with their students using Glose for Education. They can suggest books to read and/or listen to, present intelligent questions, and recommend lines that students can discuss. Students can highlight favorite passages from the books they read and annotate them before posting them. As a result, students make their own book cards with questions or passages from the assigned reading and distribute them to their classmates for feedback. By asking students to provide voice recordings, the teacher can detect and assist problem writers or assess the fluency of the students' reading. The tool keeps track of students’ reading experiences by following their progress, archive their highlights and notes automatically. Glose saves everything students do when they read by enabling them to create their own smart notebook, which they can bring everywhere and cannot lose. Glose for Education enables teachers to: -create their teacher and classroom pages. -select books from our library or upload your documents. -enhance their content with text, links, photos or videos. -follow and track student’s progress thanks to reading statistics. -identify struggling students and highlight top performers.
