Good Jeopardy style knowledge app.
Community Review for Today in History
My Take
Other than using the app as a fact of the day for a given day, it has limited use in the classroom. The birth and death dates are for popular culture figures more so than business and political/historical figures. Lacking pictures, this would be welcomed and help the students retain interest. Due to the frequent crashing of the app upon going to a Wikipedia link, it appears software updates are in order. This would be frustrating for students trying to use the app as a primer for further research from its links.
How I Use It
The app has events from specific days in history. Students can click on an event and be taken to a page for further links to the topic. The links were to Wikipedia and seemed unstable. Each time I pressed a link the app would quickly crash. It would be good for rote information about what happened on any given day in history. It may be good to use as a primer for varying topics about a certain day also.
