I learned how to use two great apps as educational tools in my future classroom. The first app was a stop motion app called Koma Koma. I enjoyed using this app, and I would like to use this in my classroom to allow students to write stories and bring them to life with the app. The second app we used was Snapchat, which seems strange to use for educational purposes but it can be done! We used Snapchat to take pictures of text we liked or did not like, and then we annotated it and added in emojis to show our reactions to them. I think older kids will enjoy using an app they use for recreation for an educational purpose, and hopefully they can continue to make connections with their education in their daily lives using Snapchat. As a student, I can see myself using both apps in my class work and during field experiences and tutoring to engage students.
