Megan Wilson. Beautiful presentation tool that comes with gorgeous, professional looking templates, and a whole library of copyright-friendly images and music! Allows for students to concentrate on the content, while still delivering a very slick product.
This was one of Megan's favorite apps last year. It's a presentation tool that enables the teacher to give students either private or collaborative feedback on their work in real time. Great vehicle for differentiation and personalization.
This is an amazing collection of ebooks. So many free book collections are hard to download this one isn't. Just click and listen, and the readers are good - no computerized voices.
Mariana Psenicnik. Great for the youngest students. This is an augmented reality app that helps students develop their storytelling skills and stretches imagination. Teachers print out coloring sheets and students color them in, then when they scan the image with the Chromville app, the image comes to life. Students use that as a prompt to tell a story, name characters, etc. Teachers or classmates can then record (not within the app - separately) the stories.
Mariana Psenicnik. Has her third graders use this to do coding on the iPad. Intuitive. 3rd graders picked it up in 5 minutes. Students select a character and choose a path for it - a zigzag, or circles, so it is very good for their geometry skills.

Marianna Psenicnik. Platform & device agnostic. Each student needs an account. Teaches very small children how to use social media, and how to "be nice on the Internet". They had great fun! They were so excited that the classroom teacher asked to have M. show her what they were doing in the library so that they could do it in class. They blogged about favorite authors, books, and scientists whom they'd learned about on PebbleGo. They were doing some great writing - something they don't necessarily enjoy otherwise.
