I have updated this resource (again), but that's technology, forever changing. It amazes me how well our students adapt to this change. I'm feeling more and more that mobile technology is simply the new pen to paper, and that's okay. Many students have adopted this change and reach for their device to explain their thinking, collect information or submit created content. Just like introducing a child to a pen or pencil, though, they must be shown how to hold it and use it effectively to get their thoughts and ideas on paper. Technology is no different. Although many students have exceptional navigational skills with technology, tailoring those skills to support and thrive in a collaborative learning environment is something that must be considered and taught.
These apps are not answers to deliver and teach curriculum, but enhance a collaborative, engaging learning environment that is full of excitement and wonder.
Happy learning :)
