del 5 När man jobbar med appar i undervisningen finns det två olika huvudtyper av appar. Den första kategorin är de som är väldigt specialiserade och som gör i stort sett en sak. Det kan vara en app som hjälper dig att lära dig glosor i ett språk eller en miniräknare som hjälper dig att få reda på svaret på en matematisk operation (appen myscript calculator ska du testa om du inte gjort det). Den andra typen av appar är bredare och kan användas till många olika saker/i olika ämnen. Det finns inget som säger att den ena typen är bättre/sämre än den andra utan det beror helt och hållet på vad du behöver använda den till. För utveckling på lång sikt förordar jag dock att man försöker använda appar (och program) som hör till den senare kategorin så mycket som möjligt, då de möjliggör en utveckling och nya infallsvinklar som ger ett mervärde på sikt. Nedanstående appar finns till iPad. Nearpod (www.nearpod.com/) En app som även går att använda på PC/Mac. Educreations app (www.educreations.com/)

And what’s underneath all of that is a kid that’s not feeling good about themselves, for some reason, not making good decisions, easily influenced by peers. -- U.S. Given the often raucous reputation of Congress, it may seem unlikely that one of its members regularly partakes in the silent practice of meditation.
