The collection of iPad apps I have for you today will enable you to create, organize, and maintain a virtual classroom library. Using these apps will also help you track your personal book collection for both physical and digital versions. Besides the refreshingly neat organizational aspect of these virtual libraries, they also offer a wide variety of useful functionalities to help you and your students search for books, set reminders , and get recommendations on the best places to buy new books.
This is the Classroom Library Company’s accompanying app for managing book borrowing between teachers, parents and students. It allows you to scan, level and inventory your entire Classroom Library, giving you leveling data such as Guided Reading Levels, Lexile, Accelerated Reader, Reading Counts, DRA and Reading Recovery. The handy label printing function allows you to print the leveling data wirelessly and easily attach the labels to your books! We have almost one million titles in our database and we are adding more every day.
