Once upon a time, we waited all summer to be reunited with friends on the first day of school. Today, kids are able to stay in good touch with friends through FaceTime, Messenger, SnapChat and a dozen other apps that make chatting, well, a snap. Now that school is starting though, parents may want to transform their kids’ phones into tools for good!
1. StudyBlue – Helps create virtual flashcards
2. Cozi – Develops color-coded schedules families can use to stay on top of activities
3. Duolingo – Uses video game style learning to teach foreign languages
4. Studious – Manages class schedules, tracks homework assignments, and alerts students when a deadline is approaching
