Apps in the Classroom:
We are now in the fast growing technology era and mobile applications on iPads and other tablets are quickly hitting the classroom. I believe these are a great tool to use to get children interested in technology and education at the same time! I personally own an iPad, and have found many resources to use in my own classroom one day. Whether your schools is 1:1 or not, I would recommend getting an iPad or another tablet and projecting it on the board for them all to see and experience! There is so many different applications out there to use, and I hope to introduce you to some today!
