EDT 620 by Anna Gilpin & Blake McNair
Rationale
The first five apps encourage many different aspects of art education such as digital design, the importance of a sketch books and the key role it plays on inspiration for final projects. Students will also be encouraged to study famous artists and their work in order to appreciate and be inspired. All apps are easy to use and independently available for use outside of the classroom. -Anna Gilpin
The rationale behind the last five apps is pretty simple. Each one of them encourage students to develop or increase their knowledge in many different areas of health education. With these apps, students will be better prepared to make healthy choices in their lives, have a deeper understanding of how the body works, and be able to track calorie intake/expenditure to meet goals.
