A weblog geared toward grades 2-6 (depending on the entry) with content about being creative, organization, reading, math, and writing workshop, science experiments, mentor texts, and so much more! (Ideas are included for K-1, too, in "Book Buddies"-related posts!)
I have wanted an IPAD for awhile, but other things are pressing right now like my daughter's senior year! OMG! Will we even be able to eat on Christmas Day??? :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your IPAD and all of those WONDERFUL apps!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks!
Nice list! I have a class set of iPads as well and the students love them. We also really like skywalk for teaching sky science.
ReplyDeleteThe program iwrite is free and awesome. It helps with print and cursive.
ReplyDeleteWe are homeschoolers with an iPad, and I couldn't be more grateful to you for these suggestions. Already downloading! - Amanda
ReplyDeleteCool. I like the reding fluency timer. Rover app makes playing games that need flash player possible. It was developed for kids and educators so nick jr., Reading Eggs, timeforlearning, mathblaster, etc. can be played on the iPad.
ReplyDeleteI just got my first teaching job and this next school year the school is introducing iPads throughout the school. This is a great its to share with all of my new co-workers!!! This is a great list!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the LifeCard app. It looks like a postcard. You can choose from many different layouts to insert pictures from your Photos. Students are then able to write information about the pictures. We made LifeCards about the California Indian tribes. You can use this app for any of your social studies or science units - Planets, changes in matter, landforms.....
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about that idiom app! I tend to do an idiom of the day as a warm-up for my older students. It'll be nice to have something else already prepared.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection! As a homeschooling mom, I am always looking for fun, new, and exciting ways to integrate technology into education (especially for my techie kids!). Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletegracias desde Colombia, estamos evaluando la posibilidad de comprar un ipad para los chicos. Tu post subió el puntaje de los "a favor". Esperando desde ya el próximo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list! There are so many apps out there that sometimes it's hard to wade through them all and figure out if they're any good.
ReplyDeleteThere are some good free singapore math apps too.
You have to try the Timed Test Arcade app for math fact fluency. It is amazing. I use it with my class and they have really improved in their timed test scores. AND IT IT FUN> Plus no papers to grade!

My first grader recently started playing Stack The States & in no time was learning state shapes, capitals, state flags, where they are located in the U.S., etc. He loves it ! I highly reccomend the app.
