Storytelling is a very powerful way of communicating with our peers and portrays to others who we are and what our own stories are. It also provides an opportunity to connect with a group by creating a shared experience. This is vital in any community but more so in an educational setting where we are nurturing and fostering creativity.

Use of iOs Apps is on the rise. The number of iOS Apps available coupled with the fast pace at which they are being developed makes it difficult to remain current.
