My school is introducing a 1:1 iPad program for grades 6-8. As teachers and administrators, we are compiling a list of apps which we want the students to install. From my research via Google, there are so many apps that my list is reaching 50 or more! Does anyone have any specific apps that they use in the classroom and how are they used? Any guidance is welcome. Very beginning of my list:EvernoteiBrainstormiBooksDragon dictation/GoDoodle BuddyWhiteboardDictionary.comSkypeGoogle EarthGoogle…See More
