Free Apps for Black Friday

I am sure there are many places listing apps that are available for a reduced cost or for free, but this one seems to have a very good selection of education apps and some that are geared for special education.

We Rest Our Case!


After working with our iPad2s in the classroom for 7 months and trying out a few different cases, we have finally found one that works for us.

The Big Grips case is a form fitted squishy case. It is non-toxic, lead, latex, phthalate and PVC free. It works with the screen protectors we are using . It has also been easy to keep clean. As well, they have been standing up to whatever the students do to them. I have even had my iPad thrown over a student's head and land safely.

We have tried other cases and they have worked in some classrooms and not in others. This case seems to be working in all the rooms that have it.There is nothing on the case that distracts the students from the images on the screen. The case is thick enough that little fingers find it difficult to access the volume and power button. It has also worked well with the BubCap

It has a stand that can be purchased separately from the frame or as a combo. We are very happy with our cases.
