Finding Common Apps for More Opportunity in the Classroom!

Book Creator & Other iPad Apps You Can Also Get For Android!



Tony Vincent is no doubt an advocate for technology use in the classroom. My first impression of his profile was that he retweets quite a bit. I tried to find an original tweet and found one I thought was very helpful and interesting. Vincent created a list of several apps that are available on iPad and Android. It is so neatly organized by different educational categories. I appreciate the display of icons and brief descriptions of each app underneath. I agree with Vincent that it is important to have a common set of apps to provide more opportunity to collaborate in the classroom. He states that “using the same apps can help in classrooms that embrace Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)/Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT). “ I had never heard of classrooms such as these before. Unfortunately in my own campus where I teach, we have limited technology resources and I think this is a great way to integrate digital learning in the classroom. Students love to bring their electronics to school and by allowing them to take ownership of their learning by using their personal devices, they will enjoy the school setting more. Tony Vincent’s tweets certainly provide useful information and I will definitely continue following him on Twitter.
