This document provides guidance for teachers on selecting apps to engage students in learning. It discusses criteria for choosing apps, such as whether they promote critical thinking, collaboration, and inquiry-based learning. Examples of app categories are provided, like communication, productivity, creativity, and formative assessment. The document emphasizes that technology should enhance teaching and learning rather than be the focus. It advises preparing students by setting clear expectations, modeling appropriate use, and allowing time for exploration. Teachers are reminded not to get caught up in hype but rather have a vision and plan strategically for sustainability.
