13. Creation Apps vs. Gaming Apps
Creation Apps
● can be used for multiple subject
areas and topics
● allows students choices in how
they present information
● reaches higher levels of Bloom’s
Revised Taxonomy
● requires 21st century skills as
students think about the purpose
and audience of their
presentation & how best to use
the technology
● allows for collaboration
● provides opportunities for
students to be leaders
Gaming Apps
● tasks are generally easy to grasp
● focus is on one subject area
● games consist mostly of factual
content, rote memorization, and
require little engagement
● many are “traditional” academic
quiz format (multiple choice) and
do not require 21st century skills
or higher-order thinking skills.
● most games do not take the
content further - math skills are
just basics and do not go beyond
the standard algorithm or employ
word problems.
