Assignment 5: Spend some time exploring at least 10 apps in the Android or Apple app store that may be useful for teaching your specific subject area. The idea is that you don’t pick the first four apps you find for your project, but actually look around the app store to explore the available options. Look at the staff picks (Android) and curated collections under the education category (Apple) to find some good places to start. 

1. Pick four apps that you feel are the best for your teaching purposes. Try to pick apps that you think others may benefit learning about too and may not already know. 
2. Write up a brief review of your four apps. Your review should address the following:
   • What is the app, how much does it cost, and which operating systems/devices is it available for?
   • Briefly share an idea for how you could use the app in your teaching. Use this idea to help you answer the other questions.
   • Explain what square in the PICRAT matrix this app would belong? Why?
   • How effective do you feel using this app for this learning activity would be at promoting learning? Why?
   • How efficient do you feel using this app for this learning activity would be? In other words, will it save you and students time, or take it? Is there a steep learning curve?
   • How engaging do you feel using this app for this learning activity would be? Is it fun? Because learning should be fun!
