So it’s the new kid on the block, been around about 8 or 9 months so far and what an impact it is having already. I was so excited when they launched the iOS and Android apps for Classroom. Unfortunately it’s not really much of an app for teachers yet,…
In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m quite a fan of the iPad (the Lollipop Nexus 9’s not too bad either). Not because of its design or because its by Apple or any of that, but because of its keen heritage in the learning arena. Any one who knows me will…
