At last count, there were over 80,000 educational apps available to teachers. There are apps for everything: literacy, STEM, productivity, audiovisual, etc. There are apps which improve accessibility for students with different learning challenges, i.e. text to voice, voice to text, etc.

While many of these may be a dream come true for educators, the dizzying array of choices is also a nightmare. Teachers just don’t have time to filter through thousands of apps to find the one that works best for the needs of their students. To help, we started to create curated lists of the best apps in a variety of education related categories. In this installment, we will present the best apps for kids in the 11th grade.

  1. Grammarly

In addition to having a bibliography app, high school students should also make use of this website and its app for checking papers for grammar errors and sentence issues. The app extension can work even to ensure student’s social media posts are grammatically correct.

  1. Khan Academy

To further learning and make subjects easier to understand, the extensive collection of instructional videos from Khan Academy is a must-have app. Students can search up the topics they are struggling with and watch free videos and respond to Common Core aligned questions.

  1. Star Chart

With over 20 million users this app brings the universe a little closer. Students can learn about constellations by aiming their phones at the night sky. There are additional features that allow students to interact with facts about planets and space discovery.

  1. Google Translate

While conventional Google Translate may not sound like a VR app, its new camera feature students can translate 30 languages by aiming their camera at a text. Students can watch in real time as the text is translated. This additional feature is great for language student

  1. SimplePhysics

Physics can be a daunting subject, but the new way of approaching it makes physics more of a hands-on subject that gets students to engage in problem-solving actively. SimplePhysics provides games and puzzles that test the limits of students’ critical thinking skills.

  1. Free Graphing Calculator PocketCAS Lite

A perfect app for any grade, this app saves students and teachers the money of having to buy individual graphing calculators.

  1. Math Reference

With over 1,400 formulas and equations, this referential app helps students work on not only math problems but also physics and chemistry projects.

  1. SAT Word Slam

Teenagers will love the SAT Word Slam app because it uses teenage humor and pop culture references to teach vocabulary. Utilizing “teach me” and “test me,” this app allows students to learn definitions, test their knowledge, and track their progress.

  1. Lumosity

Based on the science of neuroplasticity, though facing some bad press, Lumosity is one of the most highly recommended apps for working out the brain and is currently used by 85 million people. Since challenges and rewards improve memory, this app is excellent for training the brain and working out one’s memory.

  1. HaikuDeck

Build stunning visual slide decks that evoke emotion and do it quicker than hunting the wide web for templates and pictures.

  1. Tinkercad

Bring imagination to life with easy to use computer-automated design. Thinking and designing in 3D has never been easier.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
