The Teaching Apps Project (TAP) is an international competition event to help facilitate the creation, development, and sharing of teaching apps for mobile devices. The purpose of TAP is to create an open source library of lesson plans and resources for mobile teaching.

Interested individuals or multicultural teams submit “teaching app profiles” for professional review during the open submission period called a Competition Cycle. There are competition cycles every ninety days beginning January 1, 2013.

Each teaching app profile is judged and awarded points based on its applicability to mobile teaching. The profile receiving the most points during the cycle receives a first place award for the school of the participant. Additional awards for individual participants are also available.

For participation guidelines, go to http://mobileteaching.org/ and follow the link in Article Resource Section 7.

We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the U.S. Department of Education, UNESCO, and the Pratte Foundation for assistance with this Call for Teaching Apps.
