I had the pleasure of speaking to a middle school class from School District 63 about whether SmartPhones can be more than just distractions, but actually help with homework ? We talked about different strategies to reduce social media distractions, and applications that can help turn our SmartPhones into a serious homework tools, or bicycles for our minds!
Some of the tools we discussed:
- Android Science Journal
- Siri & Google Now
- Google Scholar
- iMovie & Adobe Rush
- Google Translate
- Khan Academy
- Smartphone Microscope
- Socratic
- Free Photos at Unsplash
- Smartphone Scanners: JotNot Pro or CamScanner
- Google Sky Map
- Hudl Technique
- Google Photos
