LESLIE LIKES: Forest App
The Forest app is one of my favorites for staying focused and motivated. Do you have a student that has trouble staying on task or procrastinates? Or maybe they are addicted to their phone? (and maybe you are too!) Then definitely try out the Forest app. The idea is simple! Whenever you want to focus, you plant a tree. That tree will grow during that time but if you leave the app, your tree will be killed. Over time you build a forest, with every tree in the forest representing your focused time. It’s such a great visual for students to see the forest grow, and think about how much they have accomplished during that time.
As an added bonus – Forest team partners with a real-tree-planting organization, Trees for the Future, to plant real trees on Earth. They have already planted 562,414 trees to date! If you or your student have trouble with time management, procrastination or are just distracted by the phone, this app is for you!
