The Brain AR app By using augmented reality (AR), the student gains an amazing insight into the tissues, structures and areas of the brain by moving the iPad around the special artwork provided. You can choose to view the mind in AR or switch to a 3D mode within the device and rotate with your fingers.

Apps for teachers
Quick Grader 9 (free for a limited time) The Quick Grader 9 App is a simple app to help you calculate your grades fast, saving you some valuable time. One of the features of the app is to make your grading time a little bit more enjoyable by randomly displaying funny and motivational quotes that will surprise you and make you smile! | Remind(free) I know we have several teachers using this, but if your are not you might consider it. Remind offers teachers a free, safe and simple way to instantly text students & parents about assignments, homework, tests. You can also schedule what time students and parents receive these texts. Messaging is safe because phone numbers are kept private. | Seesaw (free) I see this app primarily for the elementary teachers. We have several teachers using this and they love it! Seesaw is a student-driven digital portfolio that empowers students (as young as 5!) to independently create, capture, and store artifacts of learning. Seesaw allows educators to collect and organize digital and physical work in one place. |
