App Review: Frog Dissection

This app is graphically appealing and pretty rich in information. This would be a great “follow along with the teacher” application. I remember being in middle school and high school when we dissected things in class. We didn’t have the resources for everyone to have something to dissect. It ended up being the teacher doing it at the front of the class, and everyone just watching.

This would be a great place for the Frog Dissection App. The teacher can still only do the real dissection at the front of the class, but now all the students can follow on their iPad. They can graphically see and get information on everything the teacher is doing. Much more informative and interactive way of doing this traditional class lesson (and a lot less messy than giving a frog to every student/group).

Like with all the Apps I review, the app alone isn’t enough to justify iPads in the classroom, but each one adds a little more value, convenience, and reason for having them in your classroom.

Frog Dissection is available in the App Store for $4.99
