iClassroom {apps}

Our class is very lucky to have two iPad2s and five iPod Touches as we explore what it's like to be an iClassroom. This project is supported by the Manitoba Association of Multiage Educators. Here is a list of the apps we are using in our classroom. We wanted to start with a complete list and will work to add descriptions of the apps. Also click on the iClassroom tag on our main page to see all of our blog posts about our iClassroom.
