What are some single purposed apps or web sites you use frequently for entertainment or personal uses (let’s skip the popular things like Facebook and email)? Pick and app and design some kind of activity you might use that might have an educational use.
In your response, include the way you normally use the app, and then detail what it might offer in an educational context.
The example shown here might be an assignment to find representations of certain kinds of geometry in the real world and share a photo via Instagram.
Or you might try the Google Translate app (Android) (iOS) to experiment with having a discussion between two people who do not speak the same language.
The challenge here is to an educational activity to wrap around apps that people might use for maps, finding restaurants, checking the weather, etc.
