Downloading the apps you need for college

Your tablet or iPad may already have some of these apps installed. In which case, you will just need to switch user (if you have added your Google Account)or sign in to them (as an additional user if you haven't.) Don't worry if you already use Gmail or Google Drive - you can have multiple accounts linked to the apps and you don't need to sign out or delete any of your own data.

Below is a list of the apps you will need for college. Your subject teachers may request you download additional specialist apps in lesson to support your learning.
