Practical App: The Student as the Tutorial Designer practice draft

My practical App Tutorial relates to the classroom. I used the child who I babysit to introduce my lesson and see how he would demonstrate his building creations. The child is 6 years old. The Lego Duplo app on my phone was the interest catcher. Then I had the child use his imagination and demonstrated play as he built with Legos and trains based on the Lego app. I can see how this would fit into a preschool classroom or could possibly even gear this down to a toddler level to use this app in my classroom on the iPad if it was a low number day with 4 toddlers. Knowledge: It demonstrated the child already knowing how to use the app on the phone and what he knew about trains. Application: He demonstrated what he knew about trains and I took pictures and made the pear share presentation to show how technology was incorporated into the child teaching . As the child used the app for the interest catcher and then made his own project out of the legos. In my pre- K classroom I could have the children use the legos and see what they could build after showing them about the app. I liked the comment below about the children could make their own animals out of legos for example.

Pomodoro Timer

I want to see if this helps me with time management when needing to take a reading break. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=...
