No budget for apps?  Check out these free apps!

We know that there probably isn't a line item in your site's budget for iPad apps.  Obviously, we highly encourage you to become an advocate for mobile technology in the classroom and make sure you approach your principals or site's leadership team to make sure that there is a line item for apps in next year's budget.  For now, though, you can get started with this collection of incredible FREE apps.  Remember that the free version of an app sometimes doesn't include all of the same features as the paid version, but this is where you get to be creative.  See if you can utilize more than one app during a lesson in order to get your point across.  Nothing exciting ever happened inside "the box" - so think outside of it!
