Don't Be a One and Done: Creative Ways to Use Multiple Apps
This document discusses using multiple apps together in "recipes" to address learner variability and provide scaffolds and supports. It begins by noting the prevalence of mobile devices and tablets in education. It then provides examples of "recipes" that combine apps in different ways to enhance vocabulary learning, note taking, assessment, creative introductions to concepts, reading comprehension, writing, and test preparation. The overall message is that using only one app per lesson takes a "one and done" approach that does not address diverse learner needs, and combining strategic uses of multiple apps can help all students learn.

Editor's Notes
- #6 Several years ago, when my son Trey was 3 years old – I gave him my iPad to play a game. The next day I received a bill from iTunes for $50. Eye opening experience because I realized that my son knew more about how an iPad works that I did.
- #8 Our world is changing and we have a generation of kids, who are using technology in innovative and creative ways.
- #9 I will need to use my REFLECTOR APP to reflect answers onto the screen.
- #11 25% of schools
- #12 73% of AP teachers
- #16 Band Aid approach – we may be keeping up with the latest educational fad, instead of addressing learner needs. One-size-fits all approach. If we view apps as tools within a toolbox, we can address different learning styles to help students find the right tool for the job.

- #31 "The way we learn is as different as our fingerprints or DNA" (CAST, 2013) Stimulate 3 major brain networks to create effective learning experiences
- #36 One of the biggest barriers to learning is vocabulary development. If our student’s don’t understand it, then they won’t learn it. Research is showing us that the achievement gap can be attributed to a vocabulary gap According to research from Marzano, students need at least “6 meaningful interactions with new vocabulary terms”

I like this because I don’t have to prepare questions in advance. Students have the option to answer these questions and I can measure how the class is performing. I can highlight certain types of questions.
- #41 Taking the toolbox approach means looking at the quality of the experience. It reminds me how I often see SmartBoards being used. Expensive projector screens. In other words, its not about the tool, but how you use it.

- #55 Real Time Data to make decisions
- #56 If you aren’t organize you stuff into folders, it is a great idea to do so.
- #59 If you want a more advanced idea, perhaps you create a people Bingo Card with spaces devoted to the topic. You can share this with your class and save as a photo. Have students download the photo and use a photo editing App called Skitch.

- #61 Wanted a fun and creative way to assess what my students learned about our topic. I had them begin by using the free Fridge Poem App to create a 10 – 15 word definition or poem. This was challenging and many of my students needed to come up with 10 words related to the topic.

- #64 Due to the nature of the iPad, it can be difficult to share what students are doing with the class. You want to think about having a way to share. I usually have my students save their poems to the Camera Roll and upload to Edmodo or DropBox.

- #67 In the 1950’s a Canadian philosopher named Marshall McLuhan argued that the medium affects the way that we absorb information. In other words, the “medium is the message.”
- #69 Erica Michael and Marcel Just of Carnagie Mellon University tested this hypothesis by doing a brain scan test. Listening to an audio book leaves a different set of memories compared to reading a book (Grown Up Digital, pg.104)

- #100 Assign students concept, vocabulary term, or problem to create on MoveNote Picture to illustrate term Words to describe what they know As Marzano has said, the achievement gap is a vocabulary gap. I begin by having students work in groups and assigning each group in the room a vocabulary. They have to use MoveNote to define the term, provide visual examples, and verbally describe. Students share their responses by sharing the MoveNotes through me. The App sends their video to my email address.

- #101 After we have a grasp of vocabulary terms, then we can progress into the big ideas or concepts. I will have students use Educreations to create a screencast creating a graphic organizer of a concept, demonstrating how to solve a problem, etc. Educreations (iTunes): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/educreations-interactive-whiteboard/id478617061?mt=8

- #104 Band Aid approach – we may be keeping up with the latest educational fad, instead of addressing learner needs. One-size-fits all approach. If we view apps as tools within a toolbox, we can address different learning styles to help students find the right tool for the job.
