Learnist

When I watched the video about Learnist the two connections I made were to Pinterest and DIY app. Recently in the class, the children have been researching. I found out really fast that most children don't know how to research properly. I was struggling with getting the children to understand why they couldn't just type "answer" after what they search and expect the web to just give them the answer. In Learnist, you can search for a subject, say Christopher Columbus, and preview the material to make sure it is grade level appropriate. I like that the things you search for have an educational back ground and can be used as good resources.

After talking to my iTeam member she pointed out a similar app called EduClipper. She said this app is more geared towards K-12 and the children can make and upload their own resources.
