There are thousands of educational apps in the App Store and a number of ways to search for them. I’m preparing for an iPad workshop with elementary school teachers later today and will be showing and sharing a few of these methods. For example, Apple has four organized categories of apps that you can get to quickly with the right links. These collections are:
Special Education
Apps for Learning to Read
Apps for Learning Life Science
Apps for Learning Math
Special thanks to a fellow ADE for the recent reminder about these educational app collections.
