Top 10 Apps for Primary School


I often get asked for my Top 10 Apps for Primary School teachers and students.  As a resource for many of these Apps I have created Video tutorials so you can have a look before you buy!! So here it is in no particular order.

1. Icard Sort
2. Simple Mind
3. Formative Feedback for Learning
4. Drawing Pad
5. Procreate
6. Pages.
7. Keynote.
8. Explain Everything
9. Garage Band
10. iBooks

I must say that without direction and a purpose for learning all apps, in fact all technology, will be pointless!

Have a great week Everyone.
