1.000 Apps educativas para profesores

Literalmente existen millones de de aplicaciones para educación. La oferta es tan grande que lo complicado es precisamente elegir las mejores. Evidentemente existe consenso respecto a algunas aplicaciones y el tiempo, unido a la presión social, se encarga de ir guiando a los usuarios hacia ciertas Apps. Sin embargo, esencialmente ‘cada maestrillo tiene su librillo’.

Por tratar de acotar algo más la oferta vamos a recuperar la clasificación de Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) que recoge Educemic. En un documento abierto de Google Docs accesible aquí podemos ver el listado organizado por áreas de conocimiento y tipo de aplicación: gratuita o de pago . Las primeras están destacadas con un fondo blanco.
