Best of Education Apps 2010

NASA App

NASA is too cool! This app has the launch schedule, missions, videos, and images. There is so much information, I don’t know how I’ll keep up. It’s so interesting, I wish that I had access to NASA info sooner, as in years and years ago! I think we would have more scientists today, if as kids this info was available. Awesome!

instructables.com

This app is a must have if you’re around kids as a teacher, parent, or sitter and you don’t know what to do with them. The activities are awesome and the instructions are so clear, kids who can read can do it by themselves. Good for all ages! My favorite was the three-dimensional paper picture! Actually, you don’t even need kids, some of these activities are so fun and simple, you might want to try them in secret!

Brain Tutor 3D

I’m really impressed with this App. It’s a very good intro to the brain with a brief explanation and the ability to rotate the brain in 3D. I know many medical apps are more advanced with better bells and whistles, but sometimes simple and to the point is preferable. This is a good beginner app.
