Learn Through Life – An individualized approach to learning

This site is intended to allow anyone to self-direct their learning beginning in high school and continuing throughout life.

You can use this site if:

  • You’re an educator or student wishing to find an app to meet your particular learning need. You can find it yourself by your own criteria.

  • You’re any person looking to advance in your career or goals for the future. You can find the right app(s) for yourself – in the content area and level that you require.

  • You’re a business determined to provide opportunities to “skill-up” for your employees. You can find the apps that can best address your strategic business needs or goals of your employees.

You can find apps to:

  • Introduce new knowledge. Knowledge-based apps can provide all that is required for learning. You can use these apps to receive content presentation, learning practice, and assessment. Certificates may be earned after completion.
  • Practice needed skills. Skill-based apps can provide additional practice on basic academic skills or to supplement other academic learning. After completing a specified amount of practice, certificates can be earned, or, projects may be completed based on the skill achieved, and a badge can be earned.
  • Engage in STEM learning: STEM apps can allow anyone to learn basic computer and robotic technology. There are introductory apps that allow children or adults with no prior knowledge to learn these skills in a fun way (i.e. games, simple robots), and there are intermediate apps that can help prepare people to advance to regular coursework in these areas. Badges may be earned for specific skills obtained from these apps.
  • Engage in STEAM learning. STEAM apps can allow anyone to learn the latest tech tools, that are based on artistic creation. These are STEAM tools for content enhancement (e.g. video capture) and for product creation tools, such as digial printers. Badges can be earned for projects created.
  • Enhance Engagement and Motivation. Engagement apps can ignite a spark and enjoyment for learning, through captivating media and graphics. These apps can allow anyone to get a “feeling” for specific content areas and make them want to continue to learn in those areas. Projects can be completed and a badge earned on what was created.

Now, you can begin the individualized learning path by finding theht apps for you on the Ed Tech Directory.

This site is designed to benefit everyone. For extra guidance, you can follow the principles outlined in my book. This book describes common learning needs and then specifies which types of Educational Technology apps can best meet those learning needs. Refer to The Book page for additional information.
