When we process our learning by showing, retelling, andexpressing, it reinforces our understanding. And, we just mightinform and entertain an audience while we’re at it!

“You don’t really

understand something

unless you can explain

it to your grandmother.”

ALBERT EINSTEIN

Web  Mobile 

Today’s popular digital tools come in two flavors. Web apps frequently use Adobe Flash and do not function oniPad, and mobile apps are often made for a specific device. While you might not find the same tool as a web

app and as a mobile app, you can usually find an equivalent.

These tools work inside your

web browser on Windows,

Mac, and Linux.

These tools work on Apple

iPad. You might find versions

for iPhone, iPod touch, and

Android.

“If students are sharing their work with theworld, they want it to be good. If they’re justsharing it with [the teacher], they want it tobe good enough.”
