Evaluating Instructional Apps Using the App Checklist for Educators (ACE)
Lubniewski, Kathryn L.; McArthur, Carol L.; Harriott, Wendy
International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, v10 n3 p323-329 Jan 2018
The use of iPads and apps has become common in K-12 inclusive classrooms. Special education teachers frequently use this tool to support instruction. Data from electronic surveys were used to determine criteria that teachers identified as important for choosing apps for classroom use. Using this information, the authors developed an App Checklist for Evaluators (ACE) to assist teachers in reviewing apps. Areas included on the ACE are: Student Interest, Design Features, Connection to the Curriculum, and Instructional Features. Suggestions for choosing an effective app include determining user needs, assessing student interest, evaluating design features of the app, documenting the connection to the curriculum, and identifying instructional features.
