My Take

This app is just okay. For the price ($3.99) students can complete everything on the app in less than 45 minutes. It's more of an interactive book than an app that offers interactivity. It reminded me of a TV show on PBS where drawings and animations are used to tell young students about a famous artist. There's not much to this app, and for the price, it's not worth it.

How I Use It

Da Vinci is an app to learn more about Leonardo Da Vinci. There are 5 sections: Story, Portraits, Sketches, Paintings, and Games. Only the "Games" area offers any interactivity, and there's only 4 games to choose from. Students can breeze through these pretty quickly. The other sections offer a narrated history of Da Vinci's life and examples of his paintings, portraits, and sketches. Not much to do other than look and read.
