We’re living in the Age of the Apps. Whether you have a smartphone, tablet or regular ‘ol computer, thousands of apps are available to you — and most of the time, for free.
Google’s browser, Chrome, has an app store full of educational games and programs free to download. They range from the popular Duolingo (a foreign language learning app) to Surgery Games (a slightly scary app that lets you do virtual surgeries!).
These programs are a great way to get some educational content in over the summer — especially on long road trips.
Here are some popular apps:
– Study Stack
– Brain Pop

Thanks for the great ideas, one specific app that has helped Donae alot is the “Spelling Test” app by funexam.com its brilliant as you can load the words they have to learn for that week at school and works in any language. Every week you change the words as required. Learning spelling is no longer a fight – yippeeee
