iPads in the classroom
Looking over numerous different apps tonight and looking at the evaluation forms. Both have merits on evaluating an app. However, I felt that the critical evolution of a content based mobile app allowed for a more comprehensive evaluation of an app. Review was easy to follow and allowed for some flexibility. The summary section is imperative when looking to see if an app will be effective for your students. The rubric evaluation did not call for such a section. Ultimately, downloading and playing with the app is the lost effective way for me to determine if the app wil be right for my students.

I find it interesting that you liked the check list evaluation when compared to the rubric. Although I did like how the check list asked for a summary and level of Bloom's Taxonomy, I prefer the rubric. I liked how the rubric was more quantitative information based and was available on a scale rather then the "yes" or "no" format on the checklist. Either way, I do think some sort of evaluation is necessary by educators before they allow students to "play" with them or complete tasks with an app!
