Educational Tablet Apps
Here are a few tablet apps that I either use in ERI or STEM classes, or have tried out and recommend. Most are FREE, but small have a one-time fee. I select many of these because they have excellent features, like tracking student progress, practice problem-solving skills, or are a unique and memorable way of helping to teach certain skills and content. These are my sugesstions, not an endorsement from the West Ada School District. If you have an educational app for me to check out, send me an email. I'm always looking for fun ways to educate!
