Apps You Wish You Had

So, I thought I'd start an app wishlist of sorts in the hopes that what I or someone else wishes for another person has already found.

I talk about how important this skills are until I'm blue in the face and I usually get…See More

School boards and individual teachers are seeking out new ways to improve and maintain their own learning process. Teachers with a passion for their career are routinely discovering innovative ways to brush up on skills, and to develop new methods for delivering information. Teachers know that children have a huge capacity for retaining knowledge, and that every child has their own unique way of grasping the information delivered in the classroom.
