iPad Apps

Mobile learning in the classroom setting is becoming a reality more and more. Lots of educators have asked me what apps they should be downloading on their devices. So, below you will find my top 15 apps that I tend to use both professionally and personally. I tried to make a point to select apps that can be integrated in all curriculum, rather than just focusing on my true love for mathematics. Hope you find this list helpful!
