The ISTE Standards define "knowledge constructors" as students who critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. Indicator 3a of the Knowledge Constructor standard is the expectation that students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits. In fact, students should begin learning how to analyze and vet information on the internet as early as elementary school. It's never too early to teach students how to be good knowledge constructors.

The websites that have free corresponding apps were also highlighted with links to the app store. We used a few different reputable sources to create this list, including articles from Today’s Parent, Aleteia and Care, and they’re all free sites (or sites where you can sign up for a free subscription).
