ESORaWFwA+Workshop+Notes

=Project Background=

The original Goal was 10 apps; however, that is really an impossible feat. There are not 10 best apps. My intention is to share with you several strategies to improve Oral Fluency, Reading and Writing. We will use a variety of apps to model that. In addition, I have made sure there is a free app that has similar key features.

Please share your creations with the group by emailing to amboe_daan@sendtodropbox.com or send me your email address to add to the shared dropbox folder. If you don't yet have dropbox, please use this referral link. (That way my account gets more space too.)

//App Evaluation// There is no way to find the best 25 apps, nor should we seek out the best 25 apps. That would be like saying we want to have the best 25 books in our library. We wouldn’t consider a library of 25 books to meet the reading and information needs of the whole school. We also wouldn't decide to look for any new, different, or better ones.

Some Starting Points for Curation Considerations:

[] [|http://www.Appitic.com] - over 1800 evaluated apps with multidimensional criteria.
