Apps for Learning

            There are a few different apps that I like to keep my assignments up to date and to aid me in my classes. I use the Notes app to write down specific assignments and write down important dates. I also use the Prezi app

to keep my presentation on my iPad in case I need them during class. I also like this app because it allows me to open my teacher’s Prezis and study them before tests. I also like using the calculator app to do simple math. I use it to calculate my grades and other assessments.

            I think that apps were intentionally meant for pure entertainment purposes. However, I think teachers can take advantage of apps and use them as education tools in their classrooms. Students enjoy using technology because it makes them feel as if they aren’t putting in a lot of work. I think it is possible for students to use iPads in a learning environment as long as they are monitored. I will definitely be using apps and other forms of technology in my future classroom.
