@KarenNemethEdM Wouldn't any info re the app be helpful? Or is it that the reviewers aren't discriminating. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:16:55 +0000 #storyappchat And teachers often say in my workshops they just don't have time to read all these reviews - and limited budget to try apps Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:17:22 +0000 @roxiemunro #storyappchat That's the problem - "any info" OK for parents, not enough for teachers who must account for specific skills Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:18:38 +0000 RT @brueckj23: Another educator run review site is @iear. Ive been involved in that community since it started. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:22 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM So what would be most helpful? App listings organized by CCSS? Free downloadable lesson plans? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:27 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM But w/print bks there are also many reviews. And for one print bk cost you can buy 5-8 apps. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:31 +0000 #storyappchat the state standards and Head Start standards are different from each other - would be great to line up with standards Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:49 +0000 RT @KarenNemethEdM: @roxiemunro The big question parents DONT ask but tchers MUST ask: How will this app fit MY curriculum #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:19:55 +0000 @roxiemunro I know you are talking logic, but teachers are a.) uncomfortable w/ tech and b.) overworked - feel more stressed #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:20:50 +0000 RT @KarenNemethEdM: #storyappchat somebody could really do well with site that curates w/ alignments to state standards or preK curricula #ecetechChat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:09 +0000 @Julia_Brannon So do app devs need to list all the curriculum that their apps MAY fit? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:35 +0000 @roxiemunro I think it's easier w/ ebooks because tchrs are familiar, can use them like any storybook ##storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:47 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM I heard same from librarians in our workshop last month about book apps. I think it's even tougher for edapps. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:21:49 +0000 RT @brueckj23: Another educator run review site is @iear. I've been involved in that community since it started. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:22:12 +0000 @roxiemunro I think if app devs partnered with educators to add some info to description- how it fits certain curr #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:13 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Right. Ebooks are mostly the same as the print books. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:15 +0000 Many app developers are so busy developing that they don't realize that they need to align to #CommonCore #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:34 +0000 RT @Julia_Brannon: Many app developers are so busy developing that they don't realize that they need to align to #CommonCore #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:23:45 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Im tired of teacher Yeah, buts We all need more time.

In a perfect world. But it is a complex job. Pubs need staff dedicated/assigned to it! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:26:59 +0000 #storyappchat a little research and updated descriptions could go a LLLOOOOONNG way on this idea Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:27:12 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: @KarenNemethEdM Yes.

@brueckj23 Agreed. That's what makes a teacher's ability to search for and review even more important. Willingness to work. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:29:38 +0000 @brueckj23 Question is, is it our job to determine this re each state/age group etc. Maybe we DO need a middleman/curator. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:29:42 +0000 @brueckj23 And that's exactly what I say in workshops! What works for one tchr, one kid won't work for another! Is tricky! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:29:48 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM My guess is Ts uncomfortable w/ tech and making excuses about time are actually not buying or recommending. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:01 +0000 @roxiemunro but maybe you can meet halfway - narrow the choices for tchrs, and expect them to make better choices #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:24 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM Karen, would do you think this is problem mostly for US educators using common core? #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:31 +0000 Great article today @NYTimes RE textbooks & curricula not ready for #CCSS tests http://t.co/zMigfdKeUP #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:30:46 +0000 my worry with aligning with state curriculum etc. is that most developers are publishing for a global audience #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:12 +0000 @iPad_storytime Oh, no - Common Core doesn't even apply to preK, yet they are such growing part of app market ! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:20 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM This also sounds like something Apple could help with by asking specific questions upon app submission #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:27 +0000 @KarenNemethEdM From my take on the PW meeting last week, publishers (trade) are confused. They may be waiting it out a bit. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:31:48 +0000 @tankandbear Agree - you can dev an app for global audience, then show how it can be used for specific state/standard/curr #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:32:00 +0000 @DavidBFox Hmmmm. Apple. I hadn't thought of that! #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:32:32 +0000 Also, trade publishers are soooo slow.

Slow to move, but if they did, could be big #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:34:40 +0000 I feel that #CCSS is the way we should be going, but from a business perspective, that is where devs will find app dollars. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:35:34 +0000 Sounds like we've identified a big need in the app community: a site that helps teachers find apps to help them meet standards #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:35:59 +0000 I'd really love to see decent trainings for teachers ... http://t.co/eDpQIa0OV5 #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:36:58 +0000 Actually, the speed of publishing apps DOES give us an advantage over traditional print publishing. #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:37:04 +0000 We teachers are still in the dark about Common Core, lots of controversy #storyappchat Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:37:40 +0000 @brueckj23 Right.
