Apps Bo Bapps Fanana Nana Fo Fapps.
Reflection Question: Would you use mobile apps in your class, why or why not?
I think mobile apps are pretty cool. I have a pretty basic phone that doesn't allow apps on it (at least I think it doesn't. It would probably cost a lot if it does have that capability... and I'm cheap. So no apps for Sarah whilst having this particular phone). I think mobile apps would be a great things for class, but I wouldn't require it, for the same reason I stated above. Some kids may not have the ability, or the funds, to have apps. Or they just plain may not have a phone. I would maybe offer extra credit assignments using apps (and having alternative opportunities for those without phones/mobile apps). There were some pretty awesome educational apps that I saw on itunes- things like calorie counters and workout routines. They looked really cool. And if I ever decide to upgrade to a more modern day phone (not likely. I'm old school and like my phone to just have basic phone capabilities- calls, texts, and pictures is the plus I like) then I'm sure I will be looking into mobile apps a little bit more enthusiastically. For now, they're cool, but I wouldn't use them for class other than extra credit. Yeah? Yeah.
