End of Course Reflection

What I've Learned in This Course...

Using apps in the classroom allows for greater student engagement.

Engagement

• Students are better able to communicate and collaborate on group projects
• Information comes in a multi-media format that helps keep the attention of young learners
• Many apps provide hands-on-learning opportunities that keep students focused on rigorous content standards

Using apps in the classroom allows for greater differentiation of content

Differentiation

• Teachers can present the same content but differentiate how it is presented to students based on individual learning styles
• Students have choice in how they respond to overarching unit questions
• Teachers individualize instruction based on skills, depth of complexity, or student interest

Monitoring Student Progress

Student Progress

• Teachers get automatic feedback of student understanding in key content areas
• Teachers can also give more timely feedback to students on assignments and tests
• Teachers can make immediate changes in instruction to better benefit students
