My Take
I like this app as a problem solving tool. Students plan ahead to accomplish the task of providing enough water to the shower while also trying to achieve the success of catching the duckies in the path too. I do not like that you feel restricted unless you purchase more.
How I Use It
I use this as an enrichment opportunity during after-school time. I could see using this as an earned preferred activity during center time.

While a claim can be made that perhaps this app helps bolster a student's problem solving capacity, there is no element of the app that allows such a claim to be substantiated. Don't get me wrong... this is a fun game. Certainly, there is a time and place for this. However, there are a variety of curriculum-aligned apps that allow for students to build, create and problem-solve within the content being studied. With so much to teach and such little time to teach it, this app doesn't contain enough "meat" related to content to make a significant enough impact on real learning.
