Apps in Education has recently shared two visuals featuring two examples of classroom activities done through the use of iPad apps. You can do the same with your students using different classroom tasks for the procedure applies to different content areas.
Upon checking these two documents I found out that they the app icons are not hyperlinked and I am sure some of you are not familiar with all of these icons therefore I am providing you with a short review together with the link of each app mentioned in these visuals.
