ACTIVITY 2: Exploring Apps
1. Take a look at the list of Apps on top of the page. Pick a few and install them on your device to try them out.
2. While in the App store, search for keywords that might be of interest to you. I searched for 'ASL' and found a lot of lessons, spelling activities and games. I really liked the Marlee Signs App
