Or maybe your school, like the school where I teach English language learners (ELLs), provides very few devices and you make do with sharing your smartphone and the few smartphones some (perhaps even most) students bring to school. Maybe you're in a situation somewhere between those two.

Regardless of how many devices you have available and how easily your students can access apps and learning platforms for mobile learning, the right apps—used in the right way—can enhance the learning environment in your classroom. But with well over one million apps available for learning, how can teachers know which are the right ones?
