There are numerous apps for creative games teachers might share with students to engage them in instructional play' designed to teach concepts of mathematics, but what about apps for teachers engaged in the journey of improving their practice?

Here's an app with a serious purpose: "Lesson Note" is designed for the collaborative improvement of teaching and learning.

Tara Zuspan (Cohort 1), K-3 Math Coach at Cavett Elementary in Lincoln, intends to try out the app with her colleagues to study the implications of using "Math Talk" in classrooms.

Zuspan says, "Our school math goal focuses on Math Talk, so we are going to try out this app to document interaction patterns between student to student, student to teacher, and teacher to student."
