I guess it's just coincidence that one of their two apps is #2 in this list...

Oops, I can see where it might construed as a list of top apps starting with the best. We did not intend for the post to be perceived in such as way. All the apps hold weight within those specific areas.

Thank you :). Yup that's are primary goal. We have a new app coming out next week where kids can build their own unique monsters.

maybe i'm old fashioned, but why do we need an app for everything? Seems like the things these 5 apps teach there are better real-life ways of teaching

We completely agree, it is impossible to replace the impact a teacher can have on a young mind. These apps are selected because we've seen a huge value in project based learning that we utilized during our college careers.

> huge value project based learning

that's definitely true, collaboration is a big part in learning!

For sure. I don't know if you've heard of New Tech High Schools by any chance? They recently opened one just south of here. All of their learning is project based. I've visited the campus serval times & I'm super jealous of how they get to learn!
