Must Have Apps

As a faculty, we have recently had professional development in project based learning, assessment, and differentiated instruction. When we consider how best to use technology within each of these areas as well as how best to engage our students, the iPad becomes invaluable. Now, as we have developed killer lessons within our disciplines, I'm positive that we have come to grow fond of specific apps that allow us to:

• S-substitute 
• A-augment
• M-modify
• R-redfine

The ability to get to the highest level, redefinition, is what we are ultimately after. But that doesn't mean we can't use each of the other stages as a springboard for a great lesson. 

My question is, what apps do you regularly use to engage your students? Everyone knows iMovie, Keynote, and Pages. You've seen me use Nearpod. Now comment below with your favorite apps and the lesson you have built around it. 

My hope is, we can spur discussion and create a MPS must have app list!
