Using Apps for Learning Across the Curriculum

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Because most of the other books in this field are solely print based, a website (www.usingipads.pbworks.com) and a link to each of the 12 chapters' blogs both enhance the knowledge and skills of the classroom teacher for professional development and provide resources for their classroom planning... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers." - D. Pellegrino, University of Scranton, in CHOICE, May 2015

"The authors take an eminently practical approach, informed by several of the most important perspectives in our field today: literacy as social practice, literacy and learning affordances, and multi-modal learning contexts. This book and the accompanying wiki will delight you with an extensive array of new apps and new ideas that you can use immediately in your classroom."

Donald J. Leu, Neag Endowed Chair in Literacy and Technology at the Neag School of Education, University of Connecticut

"This book is well-suited to provide educators with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to use iOS and Android apps in the classroom. Most of the other books in this field are solely print-based, or do not contain the mix of theory and practice, or do not include sound scholarship and online resources. Using Apps for Learning Across the Curriculum contains all of these elements and more."
