Greetings Cellphone Scholars! Welcome back to another episode of Mr. Markley’s gradebook, where I review apps that promise to make you smarter. Today we’re going to look at the “Brain Training” app Lumosity, a puzzle/memory game app whose TV ads claim it can do things from making your brain “feel” better, to helping out your interpersonal relationships because of your memory. It uses the words “the science of neuroplasticity” in the ads to explain how it works, but, according to their own scientific study, all this means is “...the brain’s ability to fundamentally reorganize itself when confronted with new challenges... “ The more you use your brain, the stronger it gets.
Greetings Mobile Device Academics! Welcome back to Mr. Markley’s Gradebook, where I review apps that promise to make you smarter. Today we’re going to take a look at Vocabulary Builder by Magoosh. I was looking for an app with the intent to enhance my vocabulary, and this one was the first one to show up on the app store (after the sponsored apps).
The Promise: “Play this free game to build your vocabulary with 1200 words from Magoosh :) “ (Yes, the smiley face emojii is part of the description on the Play Store.) Gearboxers, Cellphone Scholars, Cats, and others, welcome to Mr. Markley’s Gradebook, where I review apps that promise to make you smarter. Today we’re going to going to look at Curiosity, the curated article app which promises it can make you smarter in just 5 minutes a day. It’s a bold claim, let’s see if it pays off. I can confirm that it did not, at any point, kill my cat.
Marhabban my friends and Cellphone scholars! You’re tuning in to Mr. Markley’s gradebook, where I review educational apps that promise to train your brain with daily participation. Today we’ll be looking at Memrise, a language learning app similar to Duolingo. It’s going to be impossible to not compare this to Duolingo, so, if you missed it, check out my review on it at the link somewhere below the video.
