Apps for Learning

"With the push for a technology-centered classroom, it is useful to have a book such as this one to help teachers navigate through the applications available to determine their usefulness in the classroom." -- Melody L. Aldrich, Teacher "The authors clearly describe the apps and highlight connections between classroom instruction and student learning." -- Sally Bennett, Curriculum Coordinator "The chapters provide comprehensive information on each app including the subject areas, cost (if any), developer address, background information, and how to use the specific app. This is an important contribution to the myriad resources available for teachers who like to use technology in their classroom." -- Karen Chenoweth, Assistant Principal "The authors encourage educators to think outside of personal comfort zones to capitalize on young learners' inquisitiveness." -- Judith A. Rogers, Mathematics Specialist "This is a very important resource for teachers. The authors offer many creative uses for these apps, the ideas are easy to implement and are sure to increase student engagement and excitement about learning. An outstanding asset for the teacher who wants to build a foundational toolkit that will support 21st Century learning." -- Sara J. Stewart, Instructional Technology Project Facilitator
