First, find two or three good apps that you can master and really enhance student learning with. You’ll find that as you begin to use a few apps in class you’ll start to say, “I wish I/we could do X.” And that’s the gateway statement, from that statement you start your app search for the next app to integrate into your classroom. I highly recommend that you don’t limit yourself to the apps labeled education or the apps that are in the educational categories. Keep your searches open to all categories, you’ll have better chance finding what you are looking for that way.
Second, don’t isolate yourself. Go to conferences and PDs where other like minded techy teachers gather. Start talking about what apps you’re using and they will do the same. I have found some of my favorite apps that way.
As a parting gift I will share with you an interactive graphic that I created a few months back that highlights some of my favorite Google Apps. Be sure to move your curser over the apps to get a little more information about each of the apps. Thank you for reading this blog, I hope you enjoyed it. Dr. Roby I’m double dipping on this one the graphic is both an image and has hyperlinks. :-)
