IPod Touch

Today, it is a global village all because of technology and its many manifestations. Note: with the latest update, students also need to install the Docs and Sheets apps in order to create and edit documents or spreadsheets. There's Google Drive integration too if teachers want to keep things on the cloud instead. This tool can be accessed via any web browser or the Android app.

These apps for kids are all free at the time of writing this, so I hope they stay that way in case you come across this post after some time. This multi channel learning approach of using chat room, direct messages, voice telephony, and webcam creates interesting learning experiences for the users.

A great blogging option for elementary students, Kidblog allows a teacher to setup a class blog that individual students can post to from their iPad. Printfriendly is not an iPad app, but it allows for web Smashing Apps based content to be quickly converted to a PDF document directly on iPad when a Printfriendly bookmarklet is added to the iPad Safari browser.

Teachers can use the teacher app or login through the web as a teacher. FluentU takes real-world videos—like music videos, cartoons, documentaries and more—and turns them into personalized language-learning lessons for you and your students. Classroom is available as a free download from the iOS App Store.

Learning is seen as fun: Subjects like algebra are more palatable when placed in a game format and students can relate the relevancy of real world experiences. Now when teachers use the Classroom app, they'll have full control over student devices. Students and teachers can quickly create mindmaps that include shapes, symbols, text, and pictures from the camera.

And your students can view Handouts across all their classes to keep track of everything they need to complete. Multiple students will be able to use the same iPad while making it their own using Classroom. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the market designed for teaching and learning.
