Apps for Appetizers

Apps

In the morning today many of our staffs joined us in the library at Sullivan Heights to have "Apps for Appetizers". For breakfast we had croissants, jam, and coffee around tables that had IPads on the tables, and the lists of Apps on the IPads themselves. The following is that list of Apps. There are many. The purpose of today's Pro D was to have the teachers look through these apps, decide if they are useful, and then investigate others they believe will be useful for our students. Check out these of interest. Soon I'll remove the apps the teachers do not want and add those that they researched this morning and want to include on the IPads for the students to use. You can do your own comparison. Thank you.
