Critical evaluation of mobile apps
I have been creating instruments to evaluate online resources for many years. It started with Web pages, then moved on to include blogs, wikis, virtual field trips, online videos, and podcasts. You can find out about those here.
I have created two evaluation instruments - one for content apps and one for creation apps to use when looking at iPad apps. It also helps to have the evaluation data handy if you are lobbying for a purchase of an app. The first two forms can be filled out and saved locally.
