The usage of apps is something that I have been playing with over the past year. With that said, I have to admit that the majority of my app usage has been entertainment in nature. A year ago I purchased my first smartphone, it was then that I started downloading a variety of different apps. Up until this point my apps have been mostly entertainment or news related.
I honestly do not know why I have not taken the time to look into educational apps. The idea of using apps in my profession is a great idea. I use a variety of apps for news, sports, and music but will now start looking into apps that I can specifically use as an educator. One app that I have looked into that I think I will try that directly relates to my job as a teacher is an app that allows me to take attendance on my phone while I'm in the gym and away from my computer. This will allow me to submit my attendance in real time and not have to worry about remembering an hour later to get it in.
