"There's an app for that" is something I find myself saying more and more to students at MHS.
While they share the social networking apps with me that I'm way behind on, I share with them the apps that can make school more accessible to them. To coin someone else (sorry, I don't know who) they can put the library in their pocket. Here's a list of the apps my phone wouldn't be caught without! Of course, these are all available through Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
