Make-It App, Create Games

There is an app that's free today called Make It that I really like. (If your iOS is part of the WSD the app can be made available for you by putting in an app request). It's very similar to another app called TinyTap but it allows you to do quite a bit more. I'm trying to list all of the things the app does but instead I'll just say that allowing kids to make their own quizzes and then share them with other students is a great way to get them to learn. Here is what the iTunes description says:
