We are launching a NEW AppsPad Licensing Interface this year. This new interface will allow teachers to launch their subscriptions and manage their classes in one place. It will allow school and district administrators to roster, manage and assign subscriptions all in one place.

Additionally, once you are logged into your dashboards there is a library of videos that will help you get started. If you have any questions or need assistance please contact us>>
