 * Resource: ** Showbie


 * Rating: ** I would give Showbie a 7/10. The features look useful and easy on the standard app. I took off a point because the premium edition has more features, but costs $149.99. It is also only available for use on iPads and iPhones.


 * Description: ** Showbie is an app available to download on an iPad through the Apple Store. The goal of Showbie is to have paperless activities and interactions in the classroom. Showbie allows teachers to share assignments, track student work, and provide feedback. Students are able to upload assignments, message their teacher and their peers, and create portfolios of their work. The app looks like a great way to create a flipped classroom and digital learning environment.

**Resource:** Simple Machines

**Identify the Resource:** App

**Rating:** I rate this a 9/10. It is a really fun way for students to experiment with physics and geometry angles. I did take some off the rating because it does cost $2.99 and you would have to have a device that you can download the app onto.

**Description:** This is an app for students 4 and up to play with making and manipulating simple machines. They can experiment with lever and pulley systems, wheels, planes and wedges. Through experimenting and creating, students can learn about the basics of physics and angles. The activities have students make music, launch satellites into space and destroy castles.

**Standards Alignment:** This app relates to the standards through its use of designing, developing and testing processes that students go through with the physics activities. Through the testing process, students would have to continue to keep trying out their different designs to see what works for that physics activity.

Hopscotch: an app for iOS devices

**Rating**: I rate this resource a 8/10. It is free, but a $9.99 monthly subscription is required to unlock all of the app’s features. It appears educational, fun and easy for kids to use, but it has an unmoderated comment section and can only be used on devices with iOS 8.0 or later software.

**Description**: Hopscotch is an app that allows kids ages approximately eight and older to learn about coding by designing their own games. Kids (or adults) create a profile that does not require any personal information. Then, they can use a starter template or build their own game from scratch by dragging and dropping commands. Kids can choose various characters and then use the commands to make them move or complete other actions. They can then play their own game or the games of other kids in addition to providing feedback and posting comments. There are also free coding lesson plans available for math, science, social studies, and ELA teachers.

**ISTE Standard Alignment**: This app directly relates to standards 4a, 4b and 4c. Students have to design their own game by learning and using the process and tools of coding. Students must also work with the process of trial and error while designing their games. As long as they test and revise their initial game, standard 4c would also be applicable to the app. 4a Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems. 4b Students select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks. 4c Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process. 4d Students exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems.

 * Resource**: [|Duolingo]


 * Identify the resource:** App


 * Rating**: I would rate this app an 8 out of 10. This app is free and allows you to learn over 20 different languages. I can see not only schools being able to use this app, but I can see business finding it useful as well. I would rate an 8 because it gives you a chance to collaborate with others, but I do not see the design aspect of the app. I can see classroom teachers using this app for ELL students or to bring cultural awareness into the classroom.


 * Brief Description:** This app is a free way to learn a language. This app first does a placement test to see what level you are at with the language. After you have been placed, it gives you different categories to learn and master a skill. After learning a language, it can allow people to work together to solve problems without having to worry about a language barrier. There is also discussion pages and labs to do on this website.

ISTE standard: **Innovative Designer** 4a Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems. 4b Students select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks. 4c Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process. 4d Students exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems. <span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;">
 * Align with Instructional Strategy:** You can use this app to design a character that you work with on the path to learning a new language. It allows you to complete tasks and learn on a path that is designed specifically for you. You can create goals and work to achieve them.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Name the Resource:** GarageBand

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Identify the Resource:** GarageBand is an app available only on iOS based platforms (Mac, iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone)

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Rate the Resource:** I would rate this resource at a 7/10. There are limits to how effective this app can be within a classroom setting. Projects would need to be carefully planned in order to maximize its use. The fact that it is only available on iOS platforms also limits its use for many students and school districts.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Description of the Resource:** GarageBand is a digital music workstation for iOS based devices. It allows users to create, edit, learn, and share music and other audio files. Students can create music by dragging and dropping prerecorded loops and layering sounds, record using real or virtual instruments, and also learn how to play instruments using genre-based lessons. Projects created in GarageBand can be shared using iTunes or Apple Music. Students can also work collaboratively using iCloud to share files between classmates.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**ISTE Standards:** Depending on how GarageBand is used, it can be useful for generating ideas, testing theories, and creating artifacts. (4a) However, projects would need to be rather specifically designed in order to solve authentic problems. The app is a digital tool that can be used within specific design constraints and students can make calculated risks based on the assignment. (4b) The creative process with GarageBand supports prototyping and a cyclical design process. (4c) Projects using GarageBand can work toward tolerance of ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended questions. (4d)

=**Stephanie Blahunka**= ====Google Drive is a file storage. It allows users to share and store files within all devices. It can be used in a work setting by sending/sharing documents that you or your co-workers created on their device. I would rate Google Drive a 10/10. It is very useful when you need to share files. I have used Google Drive a number of times throughout work to send documents to other co-workers. This resource aligns with the innovative designer because Google Drive creates new solutions within devices to share documents and create documents within the internet.====

=**Erin Guillen.**= Scratch is a website that parents, students, and educators can use. It is an online community where students can learn the basics of coding. Users can code their own games, animations, and also make interactive stories. Scratch is available for use on laptops with an internet connection. It also has the option to be downloaded on to computers so that users may create and edit projects while offline. It has an app for tablets but the app does not offer full functionality. I would rate the resource an 8 out of 10. Students who are visually impaired would have trouble navigating the site and its resources. I think the site is great for student collaboration on group projects and also for solo creations that other students could then try out. For example, a student could create a game in which they need to dress a character in different outfits and let another student play it. Teachers could use Scratch in the classroom in various ways. Reading educators could use the site to allow students to create a story with characters and then add conversation to bring their story to life. Music teachers can use the site to allow students to learn about different types of instruments and then use those they enjoy to code their own songs. Scratch aligns with all of the facets of the ISTE standard, Innovative Designer. They must use Scratch’s coding design process to create original artifacts, use the sites tools to manage their designs, refine their creations as necessary, and work to solve open ended problems like creating your own piece of music or writing a story using code.
