Recently, the American Association of School Librarians (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.

One of these is War Horse Interactive Edition.  Author Michael Morpurgo reads the story aloud as the words are highlighted on the screen.  AASL says, “history and English teachers…will be fascinated by the way this app integrates many disciplines, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the historical context of this novel.”

The app is priced at $6.99 and is only available on iOS.  It is recommended for grades 6-12.  Check out their video:
