The iPad is a powerful tool in the hands of educators. It offers a variety of apps that can help students learn and develop skills in a fun way. Here are 7 apps to use with your students in the classroom.
The flipped classroom is a method of teaching that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is designed to use technology for the most effective learning experience possible.
Today, though, I’m going to show you a collection of fantastic applications for creating short video lectures and tutorials to share with your students. They may also be used to:
- Explain everything from arithmetic to chemistry to music theory to basket weaving with ease.
- Any trip pictures you wish to post should have a personal note attached to them.
- For sports, draw attacking and defensive tactics.
- Students’ work is graded along with a commentary that explains why they performed as they did.
- Use a “flipped classroom” strategy.
- Display your lessons on the internet and share your expertise with your students, friends, family, or the rest of the world!
I carefully selected the applications listed below and only included what I consider to be the finest available.

Ask3 transforms iPads in the classroom into recordable whiteboards, allowing for peer-to-peer instruction and collaboration. While anybody may use Ask3, we’re looking for feedback from instructors who are interested in teamwork and student participation.

We also offer you the option of describing your lesson in such a manner that anybody interested in the topic may easily discover it.
