iPad Apps For School

This site is set up to give a brief overview of educational apps. There is an alphabetical list of apps on the right side of the page. Use the labels on the right side of the page to filter for specific types of apps. The "EWSHS Availability" section of each post is a resource specifically for the teachers at my high school. Let's learn from each other! Add comments about how you use specific apps. To suggest an app for the page, please email me at rarober2@gmail.com.
