ISTE -Standard 4- Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
Review: https://www.teacherswithapps.com/science-journal-by-google/
According to the review Science Journal helps you visualize the data collected in an easy-to-understand graph. The app is designed to measure light, sound, and movement on the x, y, and z planes using accelerometers. Accelerometers document the movement of a device to the right and left (X plane), forward and back (Y plane) and up and down (Z plane). They are prebuilt into every phone or tablet and help orient the device so that you will know exactly where it is in space. The app on its own is great for simple experiments and lessons on the scientific method. Science Journal is versatile enough for elementary students exploring the scientific method while also being appropriate for graduate level students designing their own experiments for publication. Science Journal is a free app, and is fully compatible with Android, iOS and most Chromebooks. Teacherswithapps is a credible source, because it is reviewed by actual teachers who have used the apps.
ISTE- Standard 1- Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving, and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.
Review: https://www.commonsense.org/education/website/ixl
According to the review IXL uses drill and practice to build confidence and accuracy. Students have an array of skills to choose to practice. The app gives students immediate feedback and visually appealing tasks. Students get detailed feedback and tips when they get a problem wrong. This app is available from prek through twelfth grade in math, english, and science. It does cost depending on how many students for that school. This site is an accredited organization that has reviews from teachers that have used the app. Common sense gives IXL a 4 out of 5 stars overall rating.
ISTE Standard 3- Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.
Review: https://privacy.commonsense.org/evaluation/padlet
According to this review, Padlet is a digital canvas where users can add photos, videos, audio, text, drawings, graphs, charts, and more. This app is great for collaboration and compiling information digitally in one location. This is a free app that is intended for students. Students under 13 should have supervised access to the app. It is compatible with iOS, Android, and Google.This site is an accredited organization that has reviews from teachers that have used the app.
After reviewing the apps, I think Science Journal is the best, for science anyway. It is free and compatible with several different devices. It is great for teachers to implement in their classrooms with their students. It has a large age range, and allows students to be creative, solve problems, and record their data.
