7 What is this Session All about?

8 The Goal

9 The Disclaimers 1. There was an effort made to not include 2 apps with the same functionality. In some cases it worked, but in others others it didn t 2. Options are growing even greater with Android apps coming to Chromebooks 3. I tried to exclude Apps that everyone knows unless I could add something new. You won t find Youtube on here. I just thought since you are at a tech conference, you might already know them 4. There are a multitude of Apps and software that have similar functionality. If you like the concept but you want a different user experience, you can find it. 5. I am a high school teacher. There will be no cute lets learn math apps here 6. There are some tools that have web based, apps, extensions, and add ons. Find Your Best Version

10 Please Stand Up And Raise Your Right Hand

11 It s Time to Take The Appaholics Pledge I state your name pledge not to try to use every one of these tools. I understand that while these tools all could be effective, I could have a brain explosion if I try to use them all. I understand that the goal of this presentation is to get me to find less than 5 to use all the time. I do not hold Mr Lockhart accountable for my brain explosions or drowning under the fire hose
