Apps as Tools

So often I hear the phrase "It's not about the apps", however, in some cases it is.  If we are to view apps as tools that help us to teach better, then its important to understand that apps have a purpose.  As a teacher beginning to use the iPad in the classroom, one of the best ways to start is to use some apps designed specifically for the purpose of the lesson.  In this post, I'm sharing a website that has an amazing amount of information about applying apps in the various subject areas.  Not only does the spreadsheet share apps for various subject areas, it also designates grade levels as well.

While some of these iPad Apps may be familiar to you, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the organization of these apps and their purpose in the classroom.
