Are Tablets a Prescription for Learning? Evaluating Apps for Early Learning
About this Webinar
Length: approx. 1 hour
Touchscreen tablets, iPads, Kindles and Androids could be a breakthrough prescription for early learning, or they could merely be a placebo. This webinar will share evaluation criteria and ideas for choosing effective tablet applications for use with young learners (3-7 years old). The presenter will share examples (good and not-so-good), and implementation ideas along with a few prescriptions for their integration in learning.
Participants will learn how to be more savvy evaluators and consumers of applications for young learners. Additionally, participants will be able to "take at least two ideas and use them in the morning."
