An Assessment Rubric for Apps
Originally created by Harry Walker – Johns Hopkins University (18/11/2010 0 Edited, with permission, by Kathy Schrock, (25/02/2011) Updated by Greg Alchin (23/10/2012)

A very useful way of thinking about Apps. Some schools only allow a certain number and have to rank and prioritise them. Others have limited budget. This rubric forces you to think about the value of the app being assessed which ultimately makes it far more strategic when purchasing apps for quality learning and teaching. || @http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2013/01/4-great-rubrics-to-help-you-select.html

4 Rubrics to assess selection of Ipad Apps
THis blog post talks of the selection process and then gives four good examples that you could use to assist in the staff or personal selection of apps - given limited budgets and the plethora of apps, we do need some way of assessing and ranking them...this just might help. ||
