Pro iPad Tools!
The apps that we use on our iPad, such as Schoology, Educreations, and Flipboard, are very essential and quite essential for our Macro learning experience. Flipboard makes it super easy to read other people's blogs without having to manually type up their URL. Since other blogs are so easily accessible, it gives students a motivation and incentive to look at what their peers have to say about their everyday experiences with economics. Reading these personalized stories also help me understand many concepts from class since they are relatable. Schoology is a wonderful app because it's a great source for all the notes; it keeps all notes and homework organized. I wish that the exit slips had an explanation for the right answer that maybe seen after the time expired so we know what we did wrong. Educreations is a great way to not only teach, but also to learn the material we learn in class. Whenever we do the Educreations assignments, I remember the concepts more thoroughly. I know if I can teach the concept, then I know it for sure. All in all the tools used in our economics class make learning easier, materials more accessible and all notes and homework organized.

I think all three of these apps are very useful as well. I agree that it would be beneficial to see why we got answers wrong on schoology, but that being said, I prefer schoology over Edmodo. Schoology is very organized and easy to use in terms of submitting homework and obtaining notes for class. I like how you mentioned the aspect of teaching a concept with Educreations as opposed to just memorizing it. Teaching is a great way to know you have mastered a skill.
