Great App Review Checklists for Teachers

I have probably reviewed a little over 200 apps in the last couple of years but when I first started reviewing apps there were not many guidelines and checklists as is the case now.

Education technology standards to transform learning and teaching The time for major change in education is now.

ISTE Standards

In a world where rapid advances in technology have a profound impact on the ways we work, communicate and live, education has struggled to keep pace.

These are not the typical boxes educators need to check. They provide a framework for rethinking education, adapting to a constantly changing technological landscape and preparing students to enter an increasingly global economy.

Learning and demonstrating effective uses of technology is itself an important instructional outcome. Technology has permeated all aspects of our economy and culture. Every learner now in school needs a range of literacies that are much broader and more inclusive of our changing culture.
