Jessica & Michele’s 6 Points to finding Educational Apps

1. Is it user friendly? Is it easy to use for all ages?

2. Is it engaging? Does it meet the interests of all learners?

3. Does it cover different ability levels and difficulty levels?

4. Does it cover a range of grade levels and content areas in Common Core?

5. Is it stable, updated periodically and integrate text and culturally relevant images?

6. How much is it worth? If not free, is it worth it?   *The best evaluators are the students. They can let you know if it is interesting, user friendly and relevant.
