I was able to learn many different aspects of Apple's App's and how they could be used with students and teachers. Teachers have the ability to track scores, grades, and students participation in group projects. Teachers along with students could use these apps for interactive presentations, not just the average presentations but Apple has made it easy enough for students to create movies, moving charts, pictures with diagrams, their creativity can run wild in the apps. Apple iPad is available to all students enrolled in Norman Public Schools and therefore this teacher badge program is very relevant for where I plan to teach. I am an early childhood undergrad so the children I will be teaching can use these apps in various ways starting with easy to difficult, or when we are engaged in a project, as a class we could make a movie of our findings, or use a chart to show the progress of a plant we are growing. The possibilities are endless and this gives me a sense of ease knowing there is a resource out there to learn more about the applications.
