Happy Friday!!!! :)
Your Feel Good Friday Tip of the Week focuses around "App Task Challenges!" There are so may apps being developed and released every day! It can get a little overwhelming to distinguish between which apps are good and which aren't along with which apps are engaging and which aren't?
So, what exactly are App Task Challenges? Please see the description below taken from Craig Badura, a PK12 Integration Specialist in Nebraska. He focuses his challenges around the Benjamin Franklin quote, "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
What are App Task Challenges?
- "Easy to follow guides that give teachers the opportunity to create products with an app that they can take directly back to their classrooms
- The challenge is in the teacher trying to complete the task from start to finish (usually not a problem)
- I create them using Pages on my Mac
- I share them with our Middle School teachers during our weekly IDT meetings and just last week issued a challenge to our Elementary and High School teachers. The challenge involved teachers completing the app tasks and then sharing their completed product with me via email or with our #aurorahuskies hashtag. An iTunes card was given away to a random name that was drawn from teachers that submitted a product."
Craig Badura has gone through several different apps and created a simple "how to guide" for them! He has more that will be released as he creates them so stay tuned for more!!!! I challenge you to download the apps that he features and play around with them in your down time! :) He gives a description of the app, a few ideas of how to use them, as well as a simple "how to!" They are very easy to follow and are very user friendly!
Below is a screen shot of what they look like!
