47 useful apps for teachers

There is no denying that many students, and teachers have some kind of a tablet available for use. There is no reason why we should not maximize its convenience and usability to our benefit in teaching languages as well!

Visual effects have always been associated with language learning, to create a new path in our brain that does not require a stop at our mother tongue. The traditional, and non-effective way of learning will stick to a book and worksheets, but language learning must be dynamic, with direct link to our 5 senses in order for it to be usable right away. Using your tablet to provide videos, sounds, pictures and online tests will be sure to make the learning process lively, dynamic and effective.
