Brief description of the app:
This app was created for students to learn the 50 states of America. The student will go on a journey with Flat Stanley across the United States. As they go through this journey, they will learn about each state. Flat Stanley will have the student try and figure out where the state is located in the region. Then Flat Stanley will have the student spell the state. The app will then go through the capitals, spelling, flags, landmarks, state birds and more.

Specific outcome of visiting this site:
This app is great for students who are learning all of their states for the first time. It really goes into depth about each state and all of the important pieces of information about it. Even if a student isn’t learning this for the first time, it is a great way to be able to reiterate the capitals, regions, locations, state birds, landmarks and the spelling of the states. I would recommend this app to be used with struggling learners. This app provides a lot of information that the students can learn in case they have trouble learning this without the use of technology. This app would also be great for students who learn visually.
