Are you tired of students asking you to download apps to school devices without any strong reasons? Teach them how to carefully read descriptions of the games and apps they want to use in school so they can be informed consumers.
Products Included in this Bundle:
Students are used to adults deciding which apps and web tools they should use. Many either have apps pre-downloaded on personal devices, predetermined webtools they can use on school devices, or they think that if they ask for it they will get it. This is called mindless consumption.
Deliberately teach students how app descriptions are written and the type of information that is included. Knowing how to read information empowers students to be informed consumers. They will make critical decisions about what to buy and why they think it’s worth buying.
Informed digital citizens know the tools they are using, the provided features, costs, applications, and their privacy rights. Teaching students how to read app descriptions prepares them for the real world. They gain skills that can be used in digital and analog situations.
