Innovative Education Using Technology
Educators are constantly looking for ways to engage their students in academic learning. Yet often, old pedagogy is met with apathy. Teachers need to look to the future, to technology, in order to engage their students in the learning process. Kids are often using technology from a very young age these days and by incorporating their interests into a classroom environment educators will be able to draw them in.
The purpose of this website is to explore education "apps" (or applications) in the classroom. Apps "combine the power of the Internet with the simplicity of Multi-Touch technology, all on a 3.5-inch screen" (Apple Website). Apps can be used on devices such as iPod Touches, iPads, and iPhones. Currently, iPhones run on a data plan so schools are more likely to invest in the iPods and iPads because they are more affordable.
There is a wide database of apps right now and because Apple is aware that educators are interested in using technology to interest students they have websites devoted to applications that can be used in a multidisciplinary fashion.
