One of my favourite things to do is to look at apps and find
ways they can be used in the classroom which could possibly go beyond what they
were originally designed for.
There are many apps which allow you to take a photo a day
and have it display as a calendar. The
apps often provide the ability to add details to the image. These apps can have
many uses in the classroom.
