From Mrs. Funamoto’s Desk: McGill's TLC Lab is investigating how parents choose quality educational apps for their children and they need your help with an online study. In the study, you will view 10 educational apps and answer 4 questions about each app. App stores provide a lot of information about an app; by completing this study, you will help us determine which types of educational apps parents' value. It only takes 15 minutes. Parents who complete the study will be entered in a one-time draw for a $50 CAD gift card to the App Store of their choice. If you are willing to participate, please click on the link to access the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5L2G8DV If you have any questions or concerns about the study, you may contact the Principle Investigator, Professor Adam K.
