Apps+Home

This section was originally called "iPads," but as schools continue to integrate more and more technology, especially more BYOT/BYOD technology programs, it is clear that neither all schools nor all students within schools are using the exact same devices. Most of the apps listed in this part of the wiki can be found on both the App Store (iPhones, iPads, iOS) and Google Play (Android phones and tablets). That said, iPads do seem to be the most popular mobile devices for education at this moment, so most of the app descriptions are aligned to the iPad versions of the apps. The apps listed in this section also have differing purposes. Some are great for 1:1 or small group settings, some can be used when there is only one device in the room, and some are for teacher use only.

This Apps Home page provides a location for general resources for both iOS and Android devices as well as place to simply list new apps without making a new page for each app.
