Building Educational Apps

Presented by Shannon Holden, Assistant Principal, Republic Middle School, MO

View the webinar "Building Educational Apps"

Many people in the educational community are beginning to discover that apps for mobile devices are the "next big thing".  Recent surveys have revealed that people spend significantly more time (a ratio of 4:1) on their phone/tablet than they do on their "traditional" desktop or laptop.  Many school districts are unpacking their new tablets and/or iPods with excitement, but then saying "What do we do now?"  The answer lies in educational apps.  Wouldn't it be great if you could build your OWN educational apps, and tailor them to the learning needs of YOUR students?

In this webinar, Shannon looks at "free" and "paid" app-building software - and discusses the pros and cons of each.  He also lets you inside his app-making laboratory to unlock the secrets of building the perfect app.
