APPS

     Ok, so I got this app about a year ago, but it is without a doubt the most informative app I know of!  It is probably the definitive app on the Louvre and the thousands of works of art at the museum.  It only has a small percentage of the works of art at the museum stored on the iPod itself, but that's still thousands of images, as well as captions for them.  The more famous works have additional information about the artists, the styles they worked in, the time period and much more.
     Ok, so as far as using it educationally, for those kids in your AP art history class, you could have them download the app (free!) and use it as a review tool, because the works of art and the artist are arranged on the screen in a way that makes it easy to cover either one or the other up, kind of in a flash cardy sort of way.  It's a great place for information if you need a quick fact, date, or even for like a bell quiz, or for quizzing before the bell rings.
