  6. Cool. 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.

  8. I 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.....

  9. I 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.

  12. Thanks 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.
    There are some good free singapore math apps too.

  13. 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!
