Mobile Apps for Classrooms
5 Apps that promote student learning
Animoto
This app could be used by teachers to help students recall information by showing slideshows of the previous lessons learned. However, Animoto requires a login so it should be used for older students.
Bubble and Pebble Story
This app could be used for young students learning a new topic as they can create their own story and then share it with their classmates.
Journal Jar
This app could be used as a fun and engaging way for students struggling to come up with writing topics.
Talking Tom and Ben News
This app could be used for students that are not comfortable speaking in front of a large group or as a way to inform students of current important world news in an interactive form that relates to children.
Voicethread
Voicethread is an app where teachers and students can record their own voice onto the screen of their presentation and have others record comments.
This app could be used for an assignment where the students have the choice of doing a verbal presentation to the class or using Voicethread if they are too timid to speak in front of a group.
