Two interactive iPad Apps that work
Liz Davis posted about two really awesome iPad apps that seem to be a very good idea for the classroom. The Apps are called nearpod and socrative. They both do different things but are kind of similar. The class is able to interact directly with the teacher. Students can take quizzes and the teacher and students can see their answers as soon as they enter them. I think this is a good idea because the whole class will be able to talk about the answers that the majority of the class got wrong. I also like how on the nearpod she made it clear that the teacher can control what the students can and can't look at. Anytime there is control over good technology you can't go wrong in the classroom as a teacher. The Silent History
This week Liz posted about a different kind of app. This app is one that is free and you can download different parts of a book or the whole thing all at once. The book is very interesting and covers a huge time throughout history. I think this app was just as interesting as the first one that she posted about. It's things like this that make me think libraries are going to non existent anytime now.
