Have used some of these apps but there are more to look at. 
Homeschool FL's curator insight,
June 2, 8:33 PM
Educational apps are popping up daily, but the question for parents is, how to know which ones are worth using, and which ones are not? Because let's face it, the app industry is out to make money, and many times app developers are very astute at making an app that "looks" educational, but in reality is just full of ads and sneaky ways of getting your children to buy something.
This article lists 46 different websites that review apps for teachers and students. This should help cut through the clutter and help pinpoint the useful from the fluff. Delete the scoop?

THE LIBRARY IS A PROGRAM, NOT A ROOM A biblioteca é um programa não uma instalação Vale a pena ler os resultados deste trabalho com profissionais de bibliotecas públicas e escolares (EUA, 2012), sobre como se vêem a si mesmos, satisfações e dificuldades. É interessante reparar no salário médio anual para bib. escolares e bib. públicas, com e sem Mestrado (MLS): bib. escolares com MLS (58.400), bib. públicas com MLS (44.700), bib. escolares sem MLS (37.500). Em média, ganha-se bastante mais nas bib. escolares que nas públicas. Valores em dólares EUA.

As was rightly commented in the post, while the educational technology has changed and evolved, the practice thereof has not, at least progressed likewise, That should now be the focus - the learning design and gteaching practice, rather than solely the technology.

How true I have a three year old son who is almost as good on the computer as I am. He can pick the sites he wants from a picture and use the mouse and the pad on my lap top. It is amazing. I'm glad as things change so should the way we educate.
