WHAT CRITERIA DID YOU USE WHEN CHOOSING WHICH APPS TO INCLUDE?
The criteria were developed following a thorough review of the literature in this area. The panel then shared the draft criteria with teachers, researchers, app developers and parents in order to receive their feedback, before deciding on the final set of criteria.
The criteria focused on five areas – educational content, in-app support for learning and development, interaction, engagement, and design.
We developed a ‘FEED check’, which summarises key criteria for parents:
Fun – Will your child enjoy the app? Will it keep their attention?
Educational – Is there a clear educational aim? Do you know what your child will learn? Will it keep them learning and allow them to progress?
