Module 2- SAT Vocab by MindSnacks

    The education tool I chose to review for my next blog post is SAT Vocab by MindSnacks. This tool is used to prep high school students for the SAT. Apple claims SAT Vocab to be one of the best educational apps of the year. What better way to study for the SAT than by playing games?  This game includes 9 different games to help prep the students for the test. In order to start, all you have to do is create a profile using either your Facebook or an e-mail.
  In the first lesson, which is free before you need to do an upgrade, it gives you a walk through of what needs to be done in the lesson. First, you are given for each word a pronunciation. Next, definitions are given and you are now ready to play the first game called "Swell". In "Swell", you have to describe the word given before the time runs out. You have ten seconds to describe the word correctly and choose the right word between two.
  I believe that this app is an useful prep tool that could help students get ready to take the SAT. It is fun and easy for everyone to use and it's free. The one problem that I have with this app is that in order to get more in depth with your studying, you have pay for an upgrade. It would be a lot better if all the lessons were free and available for the students to use. Overall, I believe this app is a great one for all students who are preparing to take the SAT to have.

Module 1- Fooducate

       The app Fooducate is used to inform the user about making healthier eating habits and helps the user if they are using the app to lose weight, to reach their weight loss goal. This app can be brought in the app store and it is for free, unless you want to update it for more features which could be helpful. When you first download the app it will ask you to create a profile or sign in using Facebook. I chose to set up a profile since I do not have a Facebook. It asks simple questions about who you are and then asks are you here to lose weight. If you choose yes, it will help you set up a goal for you to reach and how much you will have to lose on a weekly basis. Then, it is time to explore the app.
     With the Fooducate app, the use can look up food and see where they can buy it and the nutritional value of the food. Also, the app allows the user to track the food the have eaten and even supplies them with healthy recipes for the user to try out at home. The app is very user friendly and if you are having any difficulty using it, you are able to message fellow users and ask for assistance.
       For me, this app is easy to use but, I would have wished that the feature involving food allergies was free since I am allergic to milk. The app gave me plenty of healthy options and provide me with a tracker to help me lose weight. Fooducate also provides comments by other users and rates the products to see how good they taste and the pricing. This app is available in the App Store on Apple devices and I enjoyed that it was free to use and downloaded quickly. Overall, the Fooducate app is a great for someone who is trying their absolute hardest to eat healthier and lose weight.
