APP RESOURCES

I researched through many many apps to find high quality ones for students. I can't believe how many educational apps that are available and how many places there are to find them. It was pretty overwhelming! Because there were so many apps available, I decided to focus on apps that would fit the curricular needs of teachers in the primary grades.  I used the big subjects, Math and Reading, mostly because I feel they encompass fundamental skills that students must master to build a strong foundation for their life long learning. On deciding which ones to list, I chose many that were free or very inexpensive. Although I chose the ones listed, I am really excited to know that there are so many out there for educators to access.
