The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) offers their 25 Best Apps for Teaching & Learning. The apps were chosen because they foster innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration.
This week we highlight Remind – an app that lets teachers text students and parents. In the app, “teachers, coaches, or administrators can send reminders, assignments, homework, assessments, or motivational messages directly to students’ & parents’ phones.” AASL’s tip suggests teachers use it to let parents know what students’ homework is for the night.
The app is recommended for all students and is FREE on iOS and Google Play. They are available on a host of devices and usually cost money. Check out this overview presentation from Remind:

We’ve heard the promise before: easy presentation creation. Well the Adobe Voice app actually lives up to the hype! Anyone can create beautiful presentations with virtually no learning curve. AASL’s tip is a good one: “Going on a field trip? Have a big event in the library or at school? Ask students to take pics and have a camera roll ready for the storytelling to come.”
The app is FREE for iOS devices, and recommended for All students. Check out the Adobe promo video below:

This week we highlight Seesaw, a “student-driven digital portfolio that empowers students (as young as 5!) to independently create, capture, and store artifacts of learning.” Students can even add text and voice recordings to their journal items. Seesaw has a great teacher resources section on their site.

The DPLA suite of apps “brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, museums, and cultural heritage sites making them freely available to students and teachers.” What better place to find free, quality content for your students! Looking for more ideas? AASL suggests getting students to develop their own apps. You could even hold a DPLA Hackathon!

This week we highlight iBiome: Wetland. “This app allows students to explore 3 different wetland habitats (mangrove swamp, saltwater marsh, freshwater marsh) by building bio domes. Within each bio dome students learn about food webs and the interaction between plants and over 50 species of animals. The goal is to build the optimum environment for the survival of both plants and animals.” AASL tells us that students using the app will immediately see how adding species to bio domes will affect an ecosystem.
The app is recommended for upper Elementary (3-6) students. It is available on IOS for $2.99. Check out the cool trailer for the app:
