Thing 15 There’s an App for that

I have downloaded some apps on my Nook and on my laptop but have encountered some problems with certain apps. I really wanted to use Instagram but without a smart phone or an Ipad it was challenging. I downloaded a viewer for Instagram for my laptop by setting up an account using an Ipad then signed into Instagram to view some photos a friend took while we were out riding bike on the trails. So even though I did not have the type of technology I needed I was able to adapt what I wanted to in order to use the app. I find it difficult to use apps here at school due to the technology we currently have. Perhaps in the future we will have some upgraded technology to use various apps.

Thing 15 There’s an App for that

So I have been finding apps for my Nook. I downloaded some apps for reading. I have the app for OverDrive which I previously mentioned. I think once I actually have time I will explore some more. I have learned a lot from my students. They use a caculator app. Also they use several different photo apps. Some have downloaded the app for QR Codes. So I still have a lot to learn.
