Navigating the App Jungle

7/11/2014

It's a jungle out there. But finding the right app for your project is only a few steps away. Check out the info graphic below for categories of general use apps currently available on the SMA iPads. (Note--apps specific to a content area like science or world languages are not included.) 

The graphic is also available online at http://bit.ly/1jUMwmz. And if you prefer a more linear document, check out the PDF menu below the graphic.

Remember--start by doing what you do best--figuring out the learning objectives. Ask yourself:
  • What do I hope the students will take away with them from this lesson/activity?
  • What skills or content do I need to assess?
  • How can I best serve the diverse learning styles of my students?
  • Can technology help me redefine the lesson/activity I've used before for this purpose?
  • Would redefining the activity improve the learning?
  • Would technology help me increase the opportunity for student choice?
  • Would technology help students go deeper into the material or skill?
  • Would redefining the activity increase student engagement in learning?
  • Can technology help improve the productivity of either me or my students?
  • If I want to use technology, which tools would best suit my purposes?
For those of you who are visual learners (like me!) there's a great infographic by TeachThought.com that explains this process visually. 

And as always, let me know if I can help! Good luck!

    "I am passionately curious..."

    Albert Einstein called himself this, and I love the idea. I too am passionately curious about what other great minds are creating and sharing. I have curated here some thought-provoking resources to assist our amazing SMA faculty as they progress in their 1:1 iPad journey.
