Apps We Use @ CDS

Apps are assigned per grade level or group. All iPads include a set of core apps that are used regularly. Additional apps may be utilized by teachers to support specific projects or learning outcomes. Students can also access additional apps to pursue skill building while working on personal projects. Tech Admin apps are there for security, tech support or for reseting apps and settings.
