NOTE: Always check the price of the apps **BEFORE** you download. What is free today may not be free tomorrow.

**Evaluating Apps**
Apps should be evaluated just like websites for use within the classroom. Sample evaluation sheets can be found at: @http://learninginhand.com/storage/blog/Vincent_App_Checklist.pdf @http://kathyschrock.net/pdf/ipad_app_rubric.pdf @http://buckeyevalley.schoolwires.com/731610627134223540/lib/731610627134223540/BVLS_iPad_App_Evaluation_Form.pdf @http://learninginhand.com/storage/blog/JeanetteVanHoutenRubric.pdf Ways to Evaluate Educational Apps (atricle with rubric)
