Step#1

Go to the app store and look for free apps that you haven't heard much of for each subject (Math, Science, English and History)

Read about the app (reviews, information from maker, etc) and download it if it is free. Spend at least 10 minutes with the app and decide if it is worthy enough to share with the whole school and would be of benefit to help someone with that subject. If you think it is useful, move on to step#2

Step#2

Write a review using the iPad app Pages OR Google Word. Your review of the app or website must be between 150-250 words.  No matter how you choose to create the articles, share it with me via email to: mrlunascience@gmail.com

Here is an example review of the NASA app by the Commonsense media website. Notice how the review mentions what age the app is intended for and they rate the quality using a 5 star system. Do the same for your review.
