For your tool #10 assignment on YOUR blog:
1. Discuss some of the free educational apps you reviewed.
Some of the apps I looked at include the following: Word of the Day, Fact of the Day, Did You Know?, and Quote of the Day.
2. OPTIONAL: If you had an opportunity to play with one of the devices, briefly describe your experience. Was there a WOW moment?
I was looking at these devices from Apple's list included with this module.
3. Discuss ways your students could use the iTouch or iPad and appropriate apps in your class.
I think that the Word of the Day or Quote could be used to help increase my ESL students' English vocabulary or thinking and reasoning skills in a fun way. The Fact of the Day or Did You Know? could be particularly helpful with my GT students because it could create a spark for them where they may want to research a topic more fully that they have learned about through one of these apps.
