I am a teacher who is fascinated with the potential of how mobile applications technology can shape education, specifically elementary and middle school classrooms. I am interested in understanding this technology and learning how to design applications, and eventually to recruit other educators to design applications that will be effective and intriguing for kids.
I am just having a difficult time knowing where to start. I am a smart guy, but way behind in understanding software and design. I really want to immerse myself in this to get caught up. Although a career in educational apps may be difficult to find at this point, what sort of career might I look into that could help pave the way for me to be successful in the goals I am ultimately shooting for? Should I go back to school? Should I work to get certain certifications? Are there good places I can go to find answers to these kinds of questions? I'll be grateful for any suggestions!
