Health education is one of the most important parts of schooling, but current techniques and curriculum tend to be a bit outdated — old books and even older information is being reiterated over and over, teaching the next generation dated science about how the body works.
Even when the info was current, these old teaching methods go in one ear and out the other for many in this generation — they’re immersed in technology from a very young age, often before they’re old enough to speak or walk. Health apps are the best high-tech way to teach kids about their bodies and how to keep them in shape. What are the best health apps for teaching K-12 students about health?

Allowing students to have access to apps that teach them about the importance of health and for the most part would be covering content taught in class allows for another opportunity of learning. Because every student learns differently this can be a useful tool in increasing learning gains by allowing students to take responsibility and own their education a concept well known to the world of digital pedagogies. Setbacks to this pedagogy are the acknowledgment of funding and equal opportunity of access if students don't have devices to access the apps.
