Educational Apps and Web Pages for Students and Teachers

Information and communication technologies came to stay in the educational world. Our students’ needs and learning styles have been changing generation after generation. In the same way, technology is changing at a faster rate. As teachers, we have the task of being updated with the technological world and pedagogical styles that adjust to the needs of our students. Luckily we have educational apps and resources we can use to improve our teaching and learning experience.

The world of technology continues to grow, change, and provide us, more and more, with tools that allow us to teach our classes in different ways. Considering that our students have different intelligences, we must know what educational apps or web pages would suit us when integrating them. Similarly, students must learn how to use them to obtain a better educational experience and thus achieve meaningful learning.

Below we present different educational apps and web pages that can benefit both students and teachers in the classroom, either face-to-face, virtual, or blended learning.
