"The apps recognized as Best Apps for Teaching & Learning are of exceptional value to inquiry-based teaching and learning as embodied in the AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Are you interested in apps that "foster the qualities of innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration" and that are user friendly? Check out the winning apps from the American Association of School Librarians in five categories. In each category there are five apps listed. All the apps work on iOS and 10 of them will with Android. Grade levels vary from K through Grade 12 and each has a brief explanation. * Books * STEM * Social Studies * Content Creation Although not all schools have iPads there are many students who may own one. Consider sharing the apps appropriate for your grade level and content area with students, even if you are not able to use them in your classroom.
