The application I review is NASA Viz.
Cost: Free
Pros: NASA Viz shows actual pictures of earth taken from outer space. The application shows different regions of the world and gives interesting and detailed information about the region. Additionally the pictures that are seen on application are very detailed and catch the viewers attention. This application is viewable to all ages. Even though the information given may be difficult to read, the pictures given allow younger students to study the pictures and make their own conclusions.
Cons: The only concept I do not like with the application is there is no choice. The viewer cannot decided what they want to look up and read about. There is only certain amount of pictures and information given at one time. Eventually other stuff is added, but the viewer cannot chose what is added to the application.
Classroom: I would like to use this in the classroom with a science unit dealing with geography and the earth. Additionally I would like to have to student connect some of the information into math using basic methods and concepts about are and geometry. Lastly I have not tried or seen other applications like it so I am still getting learning the application as well.
Anyone know how to send the copy the link of the app from the app store?
