Interactive Photosynthesis vs GeoGami

Plants convert energy from the Sun into chemical energy that animals Through photosynthesis green plants use sunlight to synthesize food. Plants use carbon dioxide and water to create sugars and as a byproduct release oxygen. Generally photosynthesis involves processes that occur in the green pigment chlorophyll and result in the generation of oxygen as a beneficial byproduct. Interactive Photosynthesis leads students through illustrated lessons that explain how photosynthesis works. When students complete a lesson a quiz is presented that to measure their understanding of the material presented. Synthetic speech can be used to read the lessons and quiz questions aloud. Sound effects make using the app fun. A scoreboard shows how well the student did on the quizzes.

GeoGami is an app for creating and playing map-based games, designed specifically for use in educational institutions. The development of the app is scientifically supervised and didactically conceptualised by the Institute for Geoinformatics at the University of Münster. GeoGami focuses on fostering competencies in map-based navigation, i.e. the ability to self-localise, to locate objects on the map, and to interpret map orientation. The creator of a game can choose from various task types and support players by enabling or disabling map features (such as position display, marking of objects in the surrounding area, etc.). Furthermore, GeoGami can also be used to create thematic games, rallies, and digital field trips.
