At K¹², our mission is to provide any child access to exceptional and meaningful curriculum and tools. That’s one of the reasons K¹² has started creating a series of mobile apps based on our award-winning curriculum.
As the Director of Instructional Design and Innovation at K¹², I’ve been lucky enough to work on a few of our early projects. I thought you might be interested in what we’ve done so far, and what we’re up to next with apps.
First, for a quick way to see all of our apps, you can try these links:
- Check out our Apple iOS Apps for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad (launches iTunes)
- Check out our Android Apps (launches the Android Market)
What will you find? Well, here’s a list of all the apps we’ve created so far. All of them are available to download today, and most of them are free!
K¹² Periodic Table (Free!) The K¹² Periodic Table lets you explore the elements and their key attributes in a simple, easy-to-use way. It’s perfect for working through your homework problems for Science courses. Works with iPad, too! iOS and Android
