Finding Apps

I used the website TCEA to find apps that might be of use for my students. Most of the apps that I use are free. For the most part even apps that are not free are inexpensive, but even for a $1 it is difficult to justify its purchase without knowing much about it. This is where evaluation tools can be helpful to sift through apps and decide if they are worth paying for. Some apps have free versions and paid for versions and it is also helpful to test the free versions first before purchasing to paid for versions. Many of the apps are half price of they are purchased in volume of 20 or more. This in combination of evaluation tools and rubrics can save schools money as they choose particular apps to purchase for multiple devices.
