Welcome to the 12 Apps of Christmas! We’re back for 2017, now as part of the Teltales blog. Based on the successful original run by Regents University London, from 9am on each of the first 12 working days of December, we will showcase a different app in a post on the blog. Each app we discuss is chosen as it provides some benefit for learning, teaching, productivity or wellbeing. Perhaps you might find a new app you’d like to try!
