"Moms With Apps" a good source of Apps for our students

Mom's with Apps is simply a blog that introduces all of us to many "apps" (applications...aka...programs or games) that are family-friendly and good for kids who have IPhones, and ITouch, or a phone or device that can download apps. Obviously, not all of our students have these devices, but more and more do every year. The ITouch was the most requested gift this past year by my 6th and 8th graders with over 50 of them asking for it for Christmas. Many of the apps that are blogged about on this site are educational and could be useful for extra practice or enrichment activities. Might take some time to find ones you like, but it is worth the exploration. And if you are like me and have a device that can download apps and have kids at home....this site is even better!

  2. Thank you for the mention. I'm editor of the Moms With Apps site, and we are improving our access to the apps by adding pages of app categories, like "Apps for Learning" and "Apps for Fun". Thanks again for visiting: http://momswithapps.com
