Digital Resources Evaluation

In this assignment I’m going to have each of you evaluate a single app that I came across. Based on the criteria that is outlined in this Chapter you will write a paper that is composed of the following sections:

• Title page
  
• Identify the resource (name the app and the developer)
  
• Evaluate the resource (You will need to read the description for the app and then visit the website of the developer to explore the claims, evidence, access, cost, ease of use, etc.)
  
• Evaluate the creators of the resource (Based on your investigation of the developer determine if the claims are valid, if the developers have valid credentials, evidence based, etc.)
  
• Evaluate the specific client’s ability to access the resource (For this part of the evaluation consider YOURSELF as the client and evaluate your access to technology, internet access, WIFI access, etc.)
  
• Evaluate the specific client’s ability to utilize the resource (Again, consider YOURSELF when evaluating the cognitive skills, reading levels, ability to apply abstract concepts to real-world problem solving associated with this app.)
