Recently, the AASL came out with their 25 Best Apps for Teaching & Learning for 2014. The apps were chosen because they foster innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration.
Duolingo is one such app. The app encourages students to learn another language by rewarding points for correct translations. The app starts off easy and is simple to use. AASL provides a tip: use the app along with geography lessons to get students interested in learning another language!
The app is free and is available on iOS and Google Play. It is recommended for 3rd through 12th graders. Check out the promotional video:
