App: Glo Bible
Cost: FREE

PROS: There are many different Bible apps available for student to get on their iPads. The found an app that I feel surpasses the other Bible apps called the Glo Bible app. This app can be found at http://www.globible.com/ and has a free app version. Not only does this app link the provide note space and pen/highlighter uses but it also has numerous different capabilities of bringing the text to life and showing students what they are reading about. This app links photos of artwork, maps of the geography in the Bible, and offers virtual tours of old buildings and landscapes that are portrayed throughout the Bible.
CONS: Students may get distracted with the photo and artwork components which may detract from the Biblical teachings.
EDUCATIONAL: This app is great for education because students are able to have the words and stories of the Bible shown and told to them in numerous different ways and students will be able to learn about the Bible through picture, video and stories. They can also take notes next to the text describing what the pictures and videos looked like.
I like this app because it goes beyond just displaying text and shows pictures, locations and videos. I think this is a great app for engaging students in religion class and give them a better understanding of the stories and event that occurred in the Bible.
ReplyDeleteGloBible is the main Bible app I use on my iPad. I love being able to highlight and bookmark favorite passages, jump around with ease, and explore extras within the app, such as virtual tours and historical facts. I like having my Bible readily accessible when I'm on the go, and GloBible is engaging, inviting and very easy to navigate. I would definitely utilize GloBible within my classroom, as I strive to engage students in the Word and enhance their Biblical knowledge.
