This book guides educators on integrating effective applications into classrooms, enhancing teaching and learning with modern technology. Apps for Learning emphasizes practical strategies and real-world applications.

In Apps for Learning, educators are provided with practical strategies to integrate 40 of the most effective applications for the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone into K–12 classrooms.
