Mobile Learning is revolutionizing the way that students can learn in classrooms. Here are five of the applications that I chose that I think would be useful in the elementary division!
5 Apps for the Elementary Classroom:
Creaza
is a toolbox of creative technology that can be accessed on the web or an iOS device. Tools include a movie, audio and cartoon editor, and mindmap maker.
Educators can use this in the classroom for students to demonstrate their understanding of concepts and skills through the creative expression of various formats, like a movie, audio clip, cartoon, or mindmap.

ChooseIt! Literacy
is an app that contains over 250 activities that help learners improve in all areas of literacy such as listening skills, sounds, and letters.
Made especially for students with special needs, the app includes features that cater to learners with visual and learning difficulties. Options to turn these features off make the app possible to use with all students, and the whole classroom can benefit from literacy-related activities.
