eSchool News has shared “top apps” for education with their readers over the last 3 years. In this week’s iTeacherSuite Teacher Tips posts we highlight some of the apps from their lists for 2011 (Monday post), 2012 (Tuesday post) and 2013 (today’s post). Each app includes links to the respective eSchool News post page and the iTunes link (and Android link for 2013 list when applicable).
WRiE selected from the eSchool News lists apps related to K-12 content that both students and teachers may find useful. Again, in addition to the reference link to the eSchool post readers will also find a link to each app description in the iTunes and/or Windows stores. Check out the apps and let us know what works for your classroom and your students or additional apps you would include in the “top 10.”

For all you teachers, parents, and students there is a great new app called Teacher App by Academically Informed. It is on the Google Play store now with 500+ downloads in the first week. It will be on the Apple market shortly. This app will better connect teachers, parents and students. It will keep parents informed in their childs education as they can view grades, attendance and a calendar of events. Parents can even submit absentee letters through the app. It is by far the most detailed education app on the market, while also being easy to use. Check it out on the android market or visit the website http://www.academicallyinformed.com.
Thanks, Brian, for providing an additional app for readers to checkout.
