Tool 10: Exploring Mobile Technology and Apps.

"Google Earth" is one of tha applications that the students could have in the iTouch to learn about their city, state and country. It could be used mainly for Social Studies lessons.

AccuWeather could fit perfectly be used for Science. The students could check current weather conditions and forecasts. Particularly we are interested in the daily temperature and the type of clouds.

There is no question about the fact that mobile devices, such as the iTouchs, are "cool" and student friendly to acces the internet. The students feel inclined to use them instinctively. We can guide our students to take advantage of this tool and also have fun.
