Definition of Power Apps
Imagine creating apps that increase productivity in the classroom without knowing how to code. Power Apps does just that. This application development platform enables anyone to easily build web and mobile applications. Power Apps provides innovative opportunities to implement technology in the classroom, impacting both teaching and learning. Students are engaged and teachers turn manual activities into digital, automated processes—saving time and increasing efficiency.
Why should educators use Power Apps in their classrooms? Educators should strive to personalize and differentiate instruction for each student. Power Apps helps educators learn to create customized apps that meet their particular classroom needs.
Educators can co-create customized Power Apps with their students, developing their problem-solving capabilities and their confidence using technology.
Apps can be created for student learning, classroom task automation, personal connections and to make learning more fun.
