The emerging educational implications in apps may be that teachers need to brush off our thinking caps and learn to code. No longer will schools offer IT classes, and students choose the programming course as an option. Coding may become ubiquitous in all classrooms for teachers and students.<\/span><\/p>\n

The natural progression for app technology in education is that teachers create their own apps directly related to the teaching and learning in their own classrooms. In order to create specific apps related to the learning that is happening in a specific classroom teachers are going to need to learn code. Apps that are specifically created by a teacher for their specific classroom setting will be a powerful tool for teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

Continuing the progression, students should learn to code. \u00a0Preparing students for the tech-heavy job futures is an essential part of our jobs. When students learn to code they can create their own apps related to the learning curriculum. Learning then becomes real to the student, they are using an app they have created rather than one created by a third party. Students are actively involved in the learning process, where teacher and learner are creating new understanding together. Learning is relevant, real and current.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Teachers and students creating and writing their own apps as a would result in a significant education implications. It may result in the students becoming more proficient programmers and innovators that the teachers. That would be a good thing.<\/p>\n
