Community Review for HudsonAlpha iCell
My Take
This app does build for various levels of understanding, from basic to more advanced. However, interactivity is lacking. It serves the purpose of cell part description along with a visual image, but not much more. This app could be more interactive asking quiz type questions to the keep student engagement high.
How I Use It
I use this app with a worksheet I made to go along with it. I only use it if I have extra class time as a reinforcement tool. This is not something I feel the students absolutely must use in order to increase their learning.
