With the return to school comes the return of homework and projects. For many students, it can be hard to shake off the fog of summer vacation and get back into school-mode. Help your students dust off their thinking caps with these apps that are designed to inspire imagination and spark creativity.
Call of Writing
(Free – iOS, Android, Website)
Meet Call of Writing, the app that encourages you to keep writing—by deleting your work if you don’t! All you need to do is choose a randomly generated writing prompt, decide how long you want to write for, and then get started. This app can be a great way to help students brainstorm, practice their writing skills, and overcome writer’s block.
