This document provides examples of how different apps can be used to support inquiry-based learning across various grades and subjects. It lists apps like Explain Everything, Book Creator, iBooks, Comic Life, Puppet Pals, Pic Collage, Pages, Notability, iMovie and Skitch and provides brief descriptions of how each could enhance communication, collaboration, creativity and support transdisciplinary themes. For each grade level, it then outlines potential ways the different apps could be combined to support learning in a particular subject, like using various apps to support a Grade 1 unit on storytelling or a Grade 5 unit on energy.
