iPod/iPad Apps for JPS
Thank you for joining our wiki. As learning becomes more mobile, I thought it might be a good idea to start listing, organizing and discussing the apps we are using in class and for our own professional benefit. This site is basically a place to house and discuss apps we are using in Jamestown. You'll notice that each icon is a link to the apps apple site where you can read more about it and link to its iTunes page for download. I'll do my best to organize the apps as we add them. If you are adding apps to this wiki, please always link to the app and give a brief description of what it does and how you/your students use it.

Thanks,

Jason Kathman
