Say you were stranded on a desert island and you could only have one (or maybe two) apps, and recharging was not a problem.  Which ones would you choose?

Okay, so here are a few better questions.  Look back over the course of the school year.

  • Which of the apps on your phone or tablet did you use the most?
  • What’s new and wonderful?
  • Which could you not live without?
  • What do you use to discover and enjoy content, to organize, to research, to create,
  • Which apps are you smashing together?
  • Which do your students and teachers find the most useful? The most fun?

Shannon Miller and I are getting ready for a big app smashing festival in Brisbane and we’d like to carry your wisdom along with us.  Please consider sharing your own favorite apps with the teacher librarians in Australia.  Please share and learn with the larger community as well.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHICH APPS ARE IN YOUR POCKET (OR ON YOUR TABLET!)

Use this Padlet to share and check out the wonderful suggestions already posted by your colleagues.
