Creation Apps

Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy

Creation Apps vs. Gaming Apps Creation Apps

●  can be used for multiple subject areas and topics

●  allows students choices in how they present information

●  reaches higher levels of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy

●  requires 21st century skills as students think about the purpose and audience of their presentation & how best to use the technology

●  allows for collaboration ●  provides opportunities for

students to be leaders

Gaming Apps ●  tasks are generally easy to grasp ●  focus is on one subject area ●  games consist mostly of factual

content, rote memorization, and require little engagement

●  many are “traditional” academic quiz format (multiple choice) and do not require 21st century skills or higher-order thinking skills.

●  most games do not take the content further - math skills are just basics and do not go beyond the standard algorithm or employ word problems.

Creation Apps vs. Gaming Apps Creation Apps

Best Uses: ●  Differentiating assignments ●  creating projects and tutorials ●  displaying information learned ●  researching and presenting ●  Jig Sawing

Gaming Apps Best Uses: ●  Intervention for basic skills ●  Reinforcement of skills previously

What does a class

look like?

Pre-Planning / Collaboration •  Teacher develops lesson and creates rubric

Meet with teacher to develop lesson and create rubric

Samples

•  Choose which app best accomplishes the goals of the lesson / unit

•  Create the necessary accounts for the class (if applicable)

•  Determine if a secondary app (Google Drive, Edmodo, Dropbox) is needed to retrieve student work at conclusion of lesson

Pre-Planning / Collaboration

Keeping up with which iPad belongs to which student

•  Create a Google Form •  Use the link of the Google Form to create a

QR code. https://qrcode.kaywa.com/ http://www.qrstuff.com/

Google Form from QR Code

Responses from Google Form

Lesson Intro •  Distribute rubric to students •  Distribute storyboard/planning sheet •  Review expectations of lesson and iPad

(review “I will” statements) •  Show how to use the app •  Q & A

and which app will be used to do so •  Consider having students use sanitizer to

clean hands before passing out iPads •  Cue students to listen by asking them to:

Workflow ~ Edmodo ●  Students create their Edmodo accounts

using teacher code. ●  Teacher creates assignment. ●  When ready, students login to Edmodo and

click “turn in” assignment. ●  You can choose from the camera roll or the

student’s backpack. ●  Teacher can grade student work straight

from Edmodo--then it will notify the student.
