Below is a really good list of educational iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone apps for educational purposes. Since I am not the ‘expert’ for all educational iOS apps, these are recommendations by Provo School District, iPad Summit Attendees, and by others who are heavily using the iPad in the classroom. If you have used an amazing app in your classroom, please let me know, and I’ll add it to our ever-growing list of iOS Recommended Apps.
