One class told me where they struggle with their learning. My response each time was: "There's an app for that." For example, I had a group of girls who were afraid of making presentations. Together, they learned how to use: instead of making stand-up-in-front-of-the-class presentations. Other possible tools include: For additional ideas, check out: "Six Visual Learning Tools". There was a gaggle of boys who said that they hated reading. I asked them: "Do you like being read to?" They said: "YES!" They learned that if they changed their iPad/iPod/iPhone's accessibility settings, they could get their device to read to them: First, go to "Settings" and select "General". Click on "Accessibility". Next, go to "Speak Selection". Turn on "Speak Selection". You can choose a dialects (accent) and adjust the speaking rate (speed). Appy Hour Students were given a chance to explore and experiment with these (and other) apps, features, and online tools. We were amazed at how focused they were on the task. We were equally impressed with their mini-presentations afterwards: They shared what they had discovered with their classmates. In fact, each student became the "expert" for other students to go to to learn about his or her particular tool.
