STEAM Games, Apps, and Sites
Common Sense is the largest independent nonprofit organization committed to helping kids, teachers, and families manage media and technology in life and learning. They provide ratings and reviews to apps, games, and website created by teachers and for teachers. The team of reviews at Common Sense has curated and reviewed a collection of STEAM games, apps, and websites that teachers can incorporate into STEAM activities and lessons.
Common Sense provides a nicely organized collection of online games, apps, and websites related to STEAM. Information provided in the collection include grade level, price, platforms (e.g., iPad, Mac, Windows), and staff and teacher ratings. Clicking on each reviewed item yields additional information, such as pros and cons of the game/app, purpose of the game/app, how teachers can use the game/app, and subject areas and skills covered. For teachers wanting some supplemental activities for their STEAM classrooms, this is a useful collection to have.
