The apps include the focus of tracing letters, learning colors/numbers/letters, and so much more.&nbsp;<br>Elementary: My StoryMaker http://www.clpgh.org/storymaker/ allows students to create their own story.

They can also share their stories with peers.&nbsp;<br>Middle School:&nbsp;Go-Lab http://www.golabz.eu allows students to compete virtual science labs. This would be beneficial in a school in which supplies are limited. This way students could go online and complete a similar lab they would do hands on in class. It also includes a tool that helps students in writing hypothesis.&nbsp;<br>High School:&nbsp;Game Corp https://www.learn4good.com/games/online/projectmanagement.htm is a simulation that can be used in a business class.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Early Childhood: This website is originally designed for parents, but can also be extremely useful for teachers. It touches on topics such as books and different educational subjects, but it also looks at the best toys, discusses food, how to create child friendly spaces, and the list goes on. It may be a good resource for teachers to share with their students' parents. <a href="http://childhood101.com/">http://childhood101.com/</a><br><br>Elementary Level: Something that can be difficult to do is helping kids find a love for reading (and writing). This website is a place for kids to write their own books. They can create picture books and even chapter books. It allows them to be creative and help them see how amazing reading books are by creating their own! This would probably be more like higher elementary, but could be used in lower elementary at a more simple level. <a href="http://storybird.com/educators/">http://storybird.com/educators/</a><br><br>Middle Level: History often gets labeled as "boring". But, this website is revamping it and is showing how history is important. It supplies information on a lot of different topics and has many pictures to go along with the content. And videos! It's an awesome tool to change things up a bit. <a href="http://www.gosocialstudiesgo.com/">http://www.gosocialstudiesgo.com/</a><br><br>High School: Having students explore different ideas that are interesting and still connected to the area of content is a great way to keep them engaged. These Ted Talks can help students do that. And they are entertaining! This could help with presentations in different classes. <a href="http://ed.ted.com/lessons">http://ed.ted.com/lessons</a><br><br></div>]]></description>
