Edu. App. #7

This week on iTunes free apps for education, I found an app called Quizlet. I have used this app before, and I love it! You can create your own set of flashcards either on an iTouch, iPad, iPhone, or any internet browser. I think this is a great way for students of all ages to study. Also a instructor can create a set of flashcards and open it up so students can find the instructors set. This is a great app for students to use outside of the classroom.

Edu. App #6

This week I found an app called Ansel & Clair: Paul Revere's Ride. This app was recently released.  When kids were asked to respond why they thought it was a good way to learn, the responses were, “Because it teaches important history stuff in a fun to play way.” Or, the let me get right to the point comment, “Made boring history fun.” I think this is a great app to incorporate history into a fun playful way. 

Edu App #5

For this weeks podcast I found an educational app called Native Numbers.This game provides provides a deeper understanding of number concepts and imperative math vocabulary, which is needed to build a strong foundation for all mathematics to follow. Starting early is by far the best way to achieve this. Research has shown over and over that children that have a solid and deep exposure to basic number concepts have the ability to learn and understand math skills later.
