Apps Galore

So much has changed since I began using iPads in my classroom. When I first got my devices I was an app-aholic! I couldn't get enough- I was always looking for the next best app. Since then I've become more critical of the apps I use and as such I am working to only have what I consider the best of the best on my devices.

Creation-based apps are the mainstay of my devices although I do have several skill-based apps on my devices as they have their time and place. 

People often ask what's on my devices so below you will find my tried and true favorites, in no particular order.
Check out the blogs posts that I did about the apps on my devices, which also included screenshots and links to the apps.
