INTEGRATING APPS
Integrating apps into prayer enables you to create a learner-centred, constructivist and collaborative learning environment. They provide opportunities for teachers to integrate a range of Multiple Intelligences.
"The intelligences are languages that all people speak and are
influenced, in part, by the cultures in which we are born."
(Howard Gardner, Frames of Mind)
