Free Apps Downloaded

Well school was cancelled today due to the ice on the roads, so I will not get a chance to work with the molecules app with the students. I thought I would go ahead and share some of the apps we have synced so far. We have not yet purchased any apps, all the apps you will see here are free, or lite versions to try before we invest in the full version. I have put them in folders based on subject areas, so without further ado, here they are:


Other
