Teaching's hard, but don't worry too much: there's plenty of apps to enhance your teaching skills! A little bit of you, a little bit of the apps make your lessons come alive in an instant. Here's the best touch-powered apps to engage your students.
EShare
EShare is a super easy wireless screen sharing application. Best of all: the full version comes pre-installed on the CTOUCH Riva 2! The EShare user interaction experience is a natural one, perfectly suited for your classroom.
To start your EShare session, you need to install the EShare app on your personal device. And the same for your students! EShare allows students to wirelessly share their device to the touchscreen, regardless of their OS of choice. Windows, Android, Apple - all are compatible with EShare. You can stream and view up to 9 devices at the same time, ensuring a fully inclusive learning session.

Kahoot
Kahoot! allows you to easily create and share quizzes, polls and learning games. Challenge your students, test their knowledge and let them fight for leader board glory.
With Kahoot! you can also introduce new topics, review content and show data for assessments. That's why we highly recommended this app for your teacher's room as well. We actually host a monthly quiz at the CTOUCH office, testing our colleagues on their C-knowledge using Kahoot! :)

Does Wikipedia even need an introduction? The most well known open online encyclopedia is one of the most used applications in education environments.
