Cross Curricula Apps
These apps are my most used and versatile apps could be used anywhere in the curriculum.
Only limited by your imagination. These apps all work with iOS11.
These apps are half price if purchased with Volume Purchasing in multiples of 20.
Book Creator ($7.49) There also for the free version which only allows you to make one book.
Brilliant book creator, make your book and it sends it to iBooks and exports to video in the camera roll- now with embedded audio, video and freestyle handwriting features. There is also Book Creator Free which is fully functioning but you can only make on book. My one best favourite app- very versatile- look for tutorials in the sidebar. Look also for Book Creator for Chrome

Seesaw- the Learning Journal (free) but you need to buy if you want assessment rubrics and carry-over classes if you want to.
An excellent way to easily construct reflective videos, annotated images and oral sharing of writing etc. Also a great way to connect with whānau via the Seesaw Parent App. You can enable a public blogging feature.
