App Review

App Review

Classes App

This app is a calendar app; it keeps track of all of the classes or subjects the child is in. It also keeps track of all of the homework assignments and tests that the child has coming up. This application is helpful for the child to stay on track and keep their schoolwork in order. The layout is easy to use and organized. I would use this application in my future classroom because it would teach my students responsibility for making sure their assignments are completed, and because it would be helpful to them and would keep them focused.

Multiplication Genius Lite

This application is a multiplication flashcards based app game. This app is helpful and fun for kids because it shows positive reinforcements to the children.  This game shows the multiplication tables that each student needs to work on.  The application displays bright colors and keep the child interested. I would use this application in my future classroom because it is fun for the students to play, and it shows what each student has difficulty on and helps them.

WebQuest

Here is a link to my WebQuest Grammar Detectives.

Final product of Webquest poster:

3 points I would change:

1.      I think that there could be a little bit more information about how to do the task and what the final product is going to look like.

2.      I think that the evaluation could be more descriptive and possibly more helpful.

3.      I think there could be some examples of ways to apply and use the nouns, verbs and adjectives in the conclusion.

A Rubric for Evaluating WebQuests:
