Bridging Apps. Bridging Apps is a non-profit community of parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors who share information on how they are using touch-based, mobile devices such as the iPad®, iPhone®, iPod Touch® and Android® devices and apps with people who have special needs. The website has a robust "app search" engine that can find the right app to best support individual student needs.
Every year the AASL (American Association of School Librarians) publishes a "best of the best" app list for teaching & learning. These lists are not overwhelming and really capture the best apps for literacy, STEM, Organizational Management, Social Sciences and Content Creation.

Guided Access. This short 3 min you tube video teaches how to set up and use Guided Access on an iPad. Guided Access allows teachers, staff and parents to limit the ability to leave an app. This is a very useful tool to help manage student behaviors while using iOS devices and every teacher/staff member should be savvy to its use.
