Friday March 22, 2019 the Education Fellows were tasked with testing an app called Rise. The app’s purpose is to get first year students at High Point University more involved on campus and help them with the transition from high school to college. Wellington Souza from FundFive, the creator of the Rise app, showed the fellows how the app worked and explained the purpose. Throughout the seminar, Souza asked the fellows for feedback on what was observed so far. The critiques of Rise were plentiful and helpful and were welcomed by Souza. The seminar was a great experience for the Ed Fellows to understand the many ways apps can be utilized in an education setting. ~Mr. Dillon Ragan, EDU Fellows Student
