US Presidents
US Presidents is an app that gives students a list of all presidents and gives them facts about them. This is beneficial because students are able to see pictures of the presidents and read about them. For students this is a more engaging way to learn about the prominent figures in history. They are able to explore and learn themselves instead of listening and taking notes. All students have to do is open the app and then select the president they want to learn about. A barrier with this app could be that it includes a limited amount of information on the presidents. This app could be used for students in 3rd-5th grade. It is easy to use with a simple click. The standard that this app helps teach is 5.H.2 Understand the role of prominent figures in shaping the United States.

US Constitution Analysis and Interpretation
We the People is an app that allows students to read the entire constitution. I think this app is beneficial to students that are learning about the constitution because it allows students to highlight, add comments, or underline parts of it. Also it is beneficial because it is divided into sections making it easy to navigate the app. To use the app students would open the app and simply select the part of the constitution they want to read. As they are reading on the left side it has the options to highlight, underline, add comments, and other features. If students need a word defined then that is an option as well. From what I have discovered about the app does not pose any barriers for students. The reading level of the constitution is challenging but as long as students can read it this app would be beneficial. In 4th grade students cover the constitution and this app could be used in that content. This would cover standard 4.C&G.2 Analyze the North Carolina Constitution.
