ipad and iphone apps 300x269As technology continues to grow and popularize, so too has its use in the classroom. There are hundreds of online apps that are available to students as valuable learning tools. Alsion Montessori Middle School knows that these apps can be of great help to students who have interest in learning outside of school hours.

We want our students to enjoy what they are learning and that is why we believe using apps for lessons is helpful. We know that the while much of curriculum-based learning occurs in classrooms, these apps encourage students to engage in lessons outside of classrooms in a fun way that will stick with them.

We know what tools to use

As a private Fremont area middle school, our teachers are able to work one on one with students to give them personalized care. That’s how we know that sometimes our students need or want help outside of regular classroom time. We have compiled a list of 7 must-have apps for middle school students that can engage both inside and outside classrooms.
