The first version of iBrainstorm was released as a productivity tool for the design industry. We quickly noticed that schools were using it to conceptualize and capture ideas for students. The latest release enables students to capture and share their ideas, add sticky notes, drag and drop anywhere on the iPad’s screen, assign colors for prioritization, draw on the background canvas and share with teachers or classmates with a simple gesture.
What started out as an idea-sharing application quickly became the first-ever iPad-based, multi-device collaboration tool for the classroom.
In it's first year, iBrainstorm became the third-most downloaded application of all free iPad apps and the most downloaded app in the free Productivity apps category. To date, it has been downloaded over 3 million times.
iBrainstorm 5.0 is currently in development with exciting new features and a greatly improved interface to serve school-aged children with high-quality digital education tools. New content and functions in the app will engage young learners by gamifying aspects of the learning content. Animation, sound, imagery, illustration, and interactivity will all play a role in creating more engaging learning content for students.
