TCEA 2022: Apple Lover’s Delight
David Lockhart aka Big Guy in a Bowtie presented a firehose session of Apple apps that are great for the classroom. Even though I’m in a Chromebook district, I found that a lot of these applications can be utilized with students on their personal mobile devices.
- IOS is much better for creative projects and summative assessments than Google or Windows.
- Mathpix & Photomath are two apps that allow the user to solve math problems AND gives the user every step to solve the equation. While this might not be helpful in the classroom, teachers need to be aware that students have access to this.
- Anchor makes recording and publishing podcasts easy. This app is also an editor’s choice in the IOS store with 4.9 out of 5 stars.
- Explain Everything is a digital whiteboarding and screen-casting app that is also very highly rated in the app store. There is a basic version that allows users to cast, record, and present; but there is also a complete whiteboard platform that include voice chat, cloud storage, and LMS integration.
