Apps for Higher Level Thinking

 This was an awesome meeting of the best App minds in the country.  The panel and audience members shared Apps for higher order thinking and how they used it.  We will have to clean up this blog post later.  This was an inspirational event and it was great to have the whole Wilton team together for this one, even though it was late and we were tired.
