Abstract

Apps are everywhere – including the classroom! However, guidelines are needed to assist teachers in evaluating and selecting appropriate apps based on student characteristics and learning objectives. Procedures for teaching skills using apps and monitoring progress will be demonstrated. Participants will actively participate in completing an apps evaluation checklist. Presenters will also provide resources for locating apps and distribute copies of the evaluation checklist used in the demonstration.
