Below are some good apps that can facilitate your students collaboration in learning projects. The first 5 apps has been been featured in a slideshow created by Monica Burns from Class Tech Tips and are particularly useful for classes where there is only one iPad or where students have to share the same iPad. I have also added more apps that I personally think are idea for collaborative team work. Check out the titles below and have a look at the accompanying slide for more illustrations on how these apps are being used.
