Kindergarten Apps
Fall 2015
Apps
Below you will find the names and descriptions of the apps placed onto the iPads. All apps are free unless otherwise noted in their description. Many of these same apps are on Mr. Neary's iPad cart, which he will be introducing to the students, so they have an understanding on how to use those apps in your classroom. If there is a particular app you would like the kids to have prior knowledge about before using it in your classroom, please let myself or Mr. Neary know and we will try our best to accommodate.
