Show (and Tell) What You Know Apps
These are the 3 apps on our iPad Minis that I wanted to highlight at the 10/8/13 faculty meeting:
Pic Collage – Biography Example
Pic Play Post – Simple Machine Example
ScreenChomp – Math – Estimation Example
Each of these apps lets students quickly demonstrate understanding as well as gives students an opportunity to construct personal meaning. The products can be used for monitoring progress and serve as evidence. The finished products also can be available to students for revisiting and review at home.
Thinking about the SAMR Model: These apps definitely are enhancing student learning (substituting and augmenting) while giving the potential of moving into some transformational practices if the work was shared in an environment that allowed for commenting, reflection and revision.
Please share your thoughts for use in comments!
