With the number of education apps exploding, having access to a few of the websites out there that are keeping track and reviewing them is essential. So, we stole this list straight from underneath Scott McLeod… don’t tell him. In his post, he links to a great Google Docs that he updates occasionally with various websites that review iOS Apps and, honestly, it is probably the better website to bookmark. Nonetheless, we wanted to make sure you saw that there are tons of resources out there to help you make sense of the apparently infinite number of apps.
Also, please check out Robbyn Glinsmann’s recent post, “Top 10 Free Elementary Fraction Apps,” to see her reviews on some of her favorite apps.
