Students can be highly motivated by technology apps. The same academic skills that used to be practiced on paper with can be practiced through technology apps. Learning targets can be assessed through programs on computers, iPads, laptops, and mobile devices etc. Student performance can be tracked through reports generated from apps.Apps
There are a plethora of apps that I would like to investigate to support teaching and learning. Below are my top five apps:
- Big Universe - is a literacy app that provides fiction and nonfiction texts for reading in which higher order thinking skills are tested through multiple choice questions. The lexile level can be adjusted to best meet the needs of the learners.
- Dropbox - is a place to store photos, docs, videos, and other files. Files are backed up safely and can be accessed from all devices. Users can send files to others even if they don't have an account.
- Prodigy - is a few curriculum-aligned math game for students in grades first through eighth.
- ReadTheory - is a free reading comprehension program. Students can progress at their own pace on their own level. 7.4 million students have completed 130 million multiple choice quizzes on this app.
- Storia - is an e-reader app complete with questions, learning activities, and pop-up dictionaries. The app download comes with five free books and more can be purchased.
