Ten top apps for secondary teachers

Classroom ICT
We asked Justin Smith from the Educational App Store to give us his top 10 apps for secondary teachers.

Tablets are already altering the face of mobile computing in schools and teachers are becoming more and more interested in finding out the best content they can use on their devices. With tens of thousands of apps labelled educational or designed for teaching and learning, it can prove challenging to find the very best. With this in mind, we have put together a list with 10 great apps that will help you to enhance your activities in the classroom.

Price: Free (Android and iOS)

Socrative brings smart clickers to a whole new level and helps teachers to engage the entire classroom with educational quizzes. Teachers can easily create different type of exercises (multiple-choice, true/false etc) and the app can help you save time with grading and lesson-planning. Student responses can be viewed immediately and the app will even email you a report. A perfect management tool for teachers.
