Lachelle, Aug., 2010 and H. Dediu, June 2012). Apple reported that in 2012 there were approximately 73 million iPhones in the world. With that many mobile devices it is no wonder that students are turning towards using them in their classroom environment. However knowing which tablet and what app to use can be a challenge.
