 **xplain Everything**//($2.99 on iTunes: @http://itunes.apple.com/app/explain-everything/id431493086 )// This inexpensive app records on-screen drawing, annotation, object movement and captures audio via the iPad microphone. Import Photos, PDF, PPT, XLS, RTF, Pages, Numbers and more, and export MP4 movie files, PNG image files, and PDFs. This whiteboard-style app is highly rated //(but with only a few ratings so far)//.

**Teaching Table** //($2.99 on iTunes: @http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teaching-table/id555719443 )// This iPad app lets you create interactive math lessons students are bound to find engaging. Their “manipulatives” let you increase student engagement and share fully customizable math lessons. Unique, fun, and a great opportunity to put your own spin on delivering a math app on the iPad.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia,;">**Timeline Eons** (Free on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/timeline-eons/id433352152 ) This “graphic representation of the entire natural and human history” is really cool. This timeline goes from the dawn of time out to 20 million years after the present! There are tons of facts and figures from pre-history through modern times. It’s worth downloading just to scroll around a few minutes and check out. // Note: Timeline Eons is Rated for ages 9 and up for “Infrequent/Mild Realistic Violence”. //


 * Operation Math **// ($1.99 on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/operation-math/id487387270 ) // A fun, spy-themed adventure game. “In Operation Math: Code Squad, up to four players must race to disarm a series of math-busting devices, solving a series of equations before their time is up. From a spinning display screen that literally tests their math skills from every angle to rewarding ‘mission accomplished’ messages from Agent Prime, there’s a lot to like in the latest addition to the Operation Math franchise. With four virtual keypads, Operation Math: Code Squad gives every kid a seat at the table, and turns any iPad into a math-teaching power tool for four.”

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia,;">**Teacher Kit**//(Free on iTunes: @http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teacherkit/id389584618 )// This free app is a teacher’s Swiss Army knife, with tools for classroom organization, behavioral monitoring, and grading. I haven’t checked it out, but it’s rated 4+ and it’s free // (so the most you have to lose if you try it yourself is a little of your time – of course, we’d love to hear back from you if you do try it!). //

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia,;">**Geometry 4 Kids**//($0.99 on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/app/geometry-4-kids/id446626897 //) This app is built for elementary kids ages 5 – 10 and teaches a plethora of geometrical concepts.

<span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #5b6366; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em;">A monthly showcase of the latest mobile apps for educators and students. This month's roundup features a selection of apps to help students and teachers study, create, and take notes.

Using the Kindle Fire in Education - an Affordable iPad Alternative ===<span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #b51020; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.65em;">[|Searchable App Bank Filters 50,000-plus Education Apps] === <span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em;">The Tennessee Board of Regents has launched its new Mobile App Education and Workforce Resource Center to assist educators looking for apps in their discipline. More than 50,000 hand-selected apps are already cataloged by the site, searchable by education level (preK to Ph.D. to workforce careers), price, and platform. <span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em;">In addition to individual apps, the resource bank also collects curated app lists from around the Web. Recently, the site introduced an App Alert Service, where educators can sign up for automatic e-mail notification of new apps for their area and level of need. <span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em;">"We talked to educators and asked if they have time to go to any resource bank to look for apps and they said, ‘No not really,'" says Robbie Melton, associate vice chancellor of e-learning and emerging mobilization technology. "This way, if you need, say, biology apps on the iPad, you’ll automatically receive an e-mail notification to see what new apps are in this bank, so you don’t miss something (that is) like a game changer." <span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em;">Users can also submit new or unlisted apps for consideration. Each month, TBR library deans select an app of the month to highlight the best additions to the bank, with an iTunes gift card going to the submitter of the winning app.

29 iPad Resources, Tutorials, and Guides Every Teacher Should Know about
[|iPad apps],[|ipad resources] Med kharbach iPad is gaining momentum in the educational sphere and might, in the near future, be integrated as a leading learning method. iPad is part of the gesture-based technology that is widely embraced by teens and which has pushed some school districts especially here in Canada and also in the States to start using the BYOD approach, for the costs of iPad and their apps is still relatively high.

As a teacher who has not yet tried mobile technology in his teaching, you might be wondering where and how to start. What resources to use ?

HOW TO ROLL OUT A 1:1 iPAD PROGRAM - []

10 New Things We Learned About iPads - []
 * 1) Turn your iPad into a mobile document camera using the free Board Cam app and Reflection. This is great for a 1 iPad classroom where the teacher could use the mobility to project and annotate student work.
 * 2) Flipping your class with iPads? To make sure that students have access to the videos at home, create screencasts in Explain Everything, and email them to the student iPads that don’t have Internet at home. When students open their email, they can download the video to their camera roll for offline viewing.
 * 3) iMovie and GarageBand communicate with one another. Turn that dry podcast interview into a film by creating and editing the podcast in GarageBand and then export the project to iMovie. Drop in images and video that are muted to create a video based interview project.
 * 4) Create ePub files from within the Pages app by integrating with Otixo and Wappwolf. For schools that are still using Widows computers, creating dynamic course content for students to consume on iPads can be a challenge without iBooks Author. This is a quick way to get formatted content all from the iPad. This SnapGuide explains the process in detail.
 * 5) The Book Creator app can import images and video from the camera roll. This means that students and teachers can create videos in iMovie as well as screencasts in Explain Everything, export them to the camera roll, and then import them into Book Creator to add more multimedia content.
 * 6) Creative Book Builder can import files from Google Drive. Students could collaborate on a document in Google Docs from either an iPad or a computer and then import the text into Creative Book Builder to add media. Additionally, Google Presentations can be linked into Creative Book Builder ePubs for reading via iBooks when not online.
 * 7) Looking to add still images into an iMovie trailer? Create a project with all of the desired still images and apply the Ken Burns effect to give them motion effects. Send the project to the camera roll so that it can be accessed and imported when using the trailer feature.
 * 8) To create an ePortfolio for assessment purposes, consider having students submit work by emailing to a specified Evernote folder. The students do not need Evernote accounts, only the teacher’s Evernote email address. In addition to work created on the iPads, teachers can use the picture and audio recording notes to keep a record of what their students have completed. The individual notebooks could then be shared with students, parents, or team teachers.
 * 9) What’s the future look like? With Aurasma, Layar, and even Thinglink, it’s now possible to easily merge the physical and virtual worlds. For more ideas, read Paper + Layar + iPads = Augmented Reality on Greg’s blog.
 * 10) To quote guest instructor, Dan Callahan (@dancallahan), //“The most innovative teachers are the ones who aren’t afraid to play….”//

5 New Apps for Exploring Your Creative Side
A monthly showcase of the latest mobile apps for educators and students. This month's roundup features a selection of apps for creating, editing, and viewing photos and art. By [|Stephen Noonoo] 08/08/12

1) Panorama lets users create high-resolution photo panoramas by stitching multiple overlapping pictures together. The app also helps to remove artificial warped curvature of straight edges for a more realistic image. Users can save their work in their own galleries, add location data, and share via social media. **Free; iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad.** 2) Photography app Smoosh transforms images into impressionist art with a variety of manipulation tools. The app lets users smudge and smear their photos--similar to developer Michael Valdez’s Pixel Blend Pro app--and then share them with others. **$1.99;** **iPhone, iPod touch, iPad.** **Free version** **also available.** 5) The newest version of ArtStudio features a ground-up redesign, which adds a new graphics engine to make creating works of art faster and easier. The app allows users to sketch, paint, and edit photos. Updated features include bigger maximum canvas sizes, 150 free brushes, a new text tool, and new filters. **$2.99-$4.99; iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.**
 * 3)** Great Pictures features hundreds of works of art from the Impressionist period for viewing. Recently, the app has added the paintings of Georges Seurat, whose works join those of fellow Impressionists Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Gauguin, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh in the app. Details of each work, including title, year, and technique, are also displayed. **$0.99;** **iPhone, iPod touch, iPad.**
 * 4)** The latest release of AssistiveWare’s Pictello offers new children’s voices in English and a number of different languages, including Mandarin Chinese. In addition, some voices now come in expressive versions such as happy, sad, far away, and up close.

Geometry iBooks for iPads - Press Release iTunes - iBooks Textbooks - Math - Geometry - YourTeacher $7.99 ** But you can get a sample!! ** Hot Potato Algebra & More: Free Math Learning Game This app is a fun way to practice skills with solving both linear and quadratic equations. It takes a simple game of hot potato and brings it to the 21st century in a fun and interactive way. The game is simple to set up and play and students would easily be able to start a game in a small or whole group. This app would be great to use whole group in the mathematics classroom. A game of hot potato giving students the opportunity to quickly solve equations and pass the iPad or iPod to the next player would be an exciting activity for all involved! The program could be used as enrichment for students who need a challenge beyond the classroom instruction. It would probably not be the best program for struggling students to use on their own, since the game does not offer and instructional component to help students as they miss a problem, instead it just gives them the correct answer and generates a new problem.

MATH APPS ==1 Rocket Math – $0.99== Rocket math appeals to the most basic instinct in kids, which is usually not to learn maths, but is to collect stuff and build stuff. Of course it covers the essential 4 operations but also covers topics such as telling the time, money, shapes and even square roots. Kids get to build a rocket which is powered by a realistic physics engine and launch their rocket into space to answer questions and collect maths objects. Designed for kids aged 4-12 years old, there’s plenty of maths (and rocket building) in this app to keep kids usefully occupied for many hours.

==2 ArithmeTick Math Flash Cards – Free==

ArithmeTick lacks the cool graphics of other apps, but it’s strangely addictive and gets the job done. This app has 5 difficulty levels from easy to Einstein and gives kids flash card style training for each of the 4 basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.) What works well are the timed challenges which offer points and additional time for correct answers.

==3 Mathemagics – Mental Math Tricks – $1.99==

With nearly 2000 4.5 star reviews, this mental maths trainer app is a good choice for older children (and adults) who want to go beyond basic arithmetic and become mathematicians. Presented in a notebook style, with clear explanations of how to perform these mental maths tricks along with a practice mode allowing you to perfect your maths tricks.

==4 Kids Ace Math – Free==

A nice maths app for kids aged 3 and up. Kids Ace Math features kid (if not adult) friendly graphics and nice visualizations to help little ones see the visual representations of the 4 basic operations. What’s good about this app is that the settings can be adjusted to your child’s ability allowing the app to grow with your child.

==5 Math Bingo – $0.99==

This universal app (purchase once and use on both your iPhone and iPad) can be played in one of 3 difficulty levels, with up to 5 profiles (handy if you have more than on child), using any of the 8 avatars and features bug prizes. The brightly rendered bingo card concept with animated bugs adds a level of interest to this 4 operations game.

==6 Math Puppy – Free==

The cute animated puppy, bright graphics and upbeat music make this bingo math challenge game engaging for little ones. Basic subtraction is included in the free version, with addition, multiplication and division challenges available through in-app purchase.

==7 Math Drills Lite- Free==

A popular maths app with basic graphics, this app is a glam-free way to learn basic math skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. What does work well is that it gives visual representations of the maths problems using number lines, wooden blocks and hints and includes that old favorite, working out the nine-times times tables using your fingers!

==8 [|Team Umizoomi Math – $4.99]==

The high quality production of the audio and graphics, as well as the use of Nick Jr’s UmiZoomi characters, explain the high price point of this app. Featuring maths ideas ranging from counting to addition/ subtraction and number lines, this preschool game is a firm favorite with my 3 year old. Games are leveled, and designed to increase in difficulty. Appropriate hints are provided to support your child as they practice and build their maths skills.

==9 [|Intro to Math by Montessorium – $4.99]==

This beautifully designed app uses classic Montessori methods to teach maths basics such as number recognition, sequence, and spatial relationships. It even introduces odd and even numbers. Montessori resources such as number rods and sandpaper letters are reinvented for the digital age to provide a rich learning experience for preschoolers. This app also features language support for 7 different languages.

==10 [|Teach Me – 1st Grade – $0.99]==

Although not exclusively a maths app, Teach Me – 1st Grade deserves a mention here for the way it manages to engage children. My 5 year old proclaimed that he didn’t need to go to school after playing with the Kindergarten version of this game over several weeks. Taking advantage of children’s desire to be like grown-up’s and buy things, the various themed stores offer stickers that kids can buy using coins they earn during game play. The handwriting recognition engine helps to reinforce number formation and addition and subtraction are taught from and to 20.

==11 [|Math Evolve – $1.99]==

Math Evolve’s graphically rich “Story Mode” mixes the usual 4 operations maths practice with classic arcade-style gameplay, creating a true synergy between learning and play. Players embark on epic math adventure across three unique environments: microscopic, ocean, and space. The app’s “Practice Mode” can be used to provide customizable math practice. Works on both the iPhone and the iPad with one purchase.

==12 Motion Math Zoom – Free==

Motion Math Zoom’s zoomable, stretchable number line is missing some numbers – it’s up to your child to put the numbers back where they belong. What works really well is that the game uses concrete objects to represent abstract numbers: from dinosaurs in the thousands down to amoebae in the thousandths. Fun animal animations and sound effects help school children master the number line, and get a real feel for how big (or small) numbers really are. The first 6 levels are free, and a further 18 levels can be accessed with an in-app purchase.

==13 [|Doodle Numbers HD – Free]==

An addictive and simple family number game, Doodle Numbers HD offers plenty of arithmetic practice. Why spend time mindlessly matching coloured shapes when with this game you can clear the game board by matching numbers based on the rules given at each level. Scoring a consistent 4.5 stars from nearly 1000 reviews, this app makes arithmetic a fun family activity!

==14 [|Super 7 – $0.99]==

A favorite in our house, it’s easy to dismiss Super 7 as being a simple maths game as the numbered discs slowly float onto the screen. However minutes later as you’re frantically working out addition sums with numbers (including negative numbers), while making sure certain increasingly fast floating discs don’t touch each other, you’ll realize that both your mental maths and your reaction skills have undergone some targeted training. 4.5 stars from over 8000 ratings says it all.

==15 [|Brain Tuner 2 Pro – $0.99]==

This brain training maths app takes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division questions and turns them into a challenging math game for adults and children. In each of the 5 game modes, players earn “brain cells” as they answer questions. There’s a game center and a multiplayer mode where players can play over the internet.

==16 [|Math Ninja HD – $1.99]==

Combining cool video game play with maths means that kids won’t realize how much math they’re actually doing while playing Math Ninja. You can customize the game to focus on particular operations and number ranges while your child defends themselves against Tomato-San, who is building a robotic army to steal their tasty math treasure!

Interactive Language App by Rosetta Stone - [] 7 Strategies for iPads and iPods in the MATH Classroom - [] BenQ’s **Joybee BP2** has taken an existing technology and made it seem brand new. How? By taking a DLP projector, shrinking it, and giving it the capability to dock with an iPhone. Teachers and students alike can now share information directly from their iPhones with everyone else in the class. Think about that for a second. All the media on your iPhone… the videos, the music, the documents… is now instantly accessible via a single projector. Not only that, but it’s compact and relatively inexpensive.

 * Cargo-Bot (Free)**

Cargo-Bot won’t teach you [|how to program], but it goes a long way to introducing some of the basic principles of [|computational thinking] in the guise of a fun and addictive game. Each puzzle starts with various colored boxes on a platform and a picture of how the boxes should be situated once the puzzle is solved. Your job is to make the robotic arm move the boxes from their starting position to the prescribed ending position using a set of simple of drag-and-drop commands. The trick is to complete the task using //the fewest number of instructions//. That’s right, you get more points for //shorter// programs! In addition to surreptitiously introducing the basics of stacking, sorting, looping, if-then statements, and calling another program, Cargo-Bot forces you to think carefully about your “code.” You might succeed in moving the boxes to their correct destination, but with anything less than the ideal solution you’ll come up maddeningly short of the maximum stars awarded. Your program might also cause the claw to do something unpleasant like smash into a wall. You simply can’t help but want to remedy these situations. In other words, the app makes you //want// to debug your code or make it more efficient. Brilliant!


 * Symmetry Shuffle ($1.99)**

Symmetry Shuffle is a visually beautifully app that tests your spatial reasoning abilities. Use your fingertips to slide (translation), flip (reflection), and turn (rotation) an asymmetric master image across a board made up of similar background images positioned with different orientations. See with your mind’s eye and your actual eyes what happens to the master image under these geometric transformations. Each time you move the master image over a background image so that they match in orientation, the monotone background image becomes artfully colorful. Complete all matches to solve a puzzle. The puzzles can be played in two modes. In Race Mode, you try to score as many points as you can before the clock runs out. One point is awarded each time you make a match. Unused time from the previous level is added to the total time allotted to solve the next level. In Solve Mode, you try to solve the puzzle using the fewest moves. Even the toddler/preschool set could appreciate this game. There is really no need for verbal explanation. The touch commands are so intuitive that a few examples make clear what to do.

We’re eternal fans of the ThinkFun’s Chocolate Fix game, both the physical version and the app. (Could it be because IMACS alumus Mark Engelberg is the developer?) This perennial favorite of our students makes learning logic so much fun! The rules of the app are the same as the physical game. Color and shape clues offer incomplete information about the location of each confection in a 3×3 tray. Use your [|logical reasoning skills] to determine where each of the nine pieces go. Chocolate Fix Free contains 30 challenges across four levels of difficulty (15 easy, 10 medium, 3 hard, and 2 expert), whereas Chocolate Fix contains 100 challenges at each level for a total of 400. For the very young or the logic novice, one great aspect of the app is that you can click on the “Hint” icon to get just a bit of help. With the physical game, it’s difficult to get hints because flipping over the challenge card reveals the entire solution on the back. []

15 Favorite iPad Apps as Selected by TEACHERS!!!!!

=5 of the Fastest Growing Mobile Applications for Education= by K. Walsh on July 4, 2012

Guest writer Kerry Butters combed the “Apps Charts” a couple weeks ago and submitted this post, providing 5 of the top movers. While this information changes quickly, effected by things like national standardized test calendars, I thought it was still worth sharing both for it’s insights into these popular iPad and iPhone applications, and for the idea itself – using online resources like TopAppCharts to find popular apps. As the connected devices revolution continues to evolve at an astonishing rate, more and more schools are turning to technology such as iPads and smartphones to aid learning. iPads and tablets are a great learning tool, and the chance for a student to regularly use a top-end technology product goes a long way to increase engagement in the classroom. Of course, this must be monitored to ensure that the devices are not being used for less educational purposes, such as chatting and random gaming, but all-in-all, the introduction of tablets into the classroom is a positive addition. There are a plethora of apps on the market, so it can be difficult for teachers to choose which are best, so below we look at five of the fastest growing apps on the market at the moment. This combines drawing, coloring and painting tools and is ideal for kindergarten and younger kids. This interactive app features parental controls, 8 different brushes for painting and drawing and animated stickers featuring characters from Nickelodeon’s TV shows. There are also animated tutorials, picture ideas and a wealth of other tools designed to get children’s imaginations really working. This is a great app for elementary school-aged children, which teaches states, capitals, geographical locations and much more. It uses maps, flash cards and ‘state-stacking’ and gives bonus games when a child has learnt a certain amount of states. It also teaches state abbreviations, the shape of each state, famous US landmarks and doesn’t contain ads or paid add-ons. This app is perfect for children studying for math on SAT, PSAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT or MCAT tests. Mathemagics not only includes lessons to teach each aspect of math, it allows students to break down problems into understandable chunks in order to help them arrive at the solution. Kids can learn to multiply, divide and square, as well as much more and can progress through various proficiency levels. This has climbed a huge 47 places in this week’s educational app charts and prepares older students for the New York Regents Exam in Global History and Geography. The app gives students three different ways to study and the opportunity to test knowledge with two sets of multiple choice questions, or a full-length practice test. A progress bar helps users to track their progress and explanations are given when questions are answered incorrectly. This is a more specialized educational app but has soared up the charts by 98 places this week. The app features almost 800 unique questions organized by NCLEX area, body function and clinical area. Customized questions and quizzes can also be created and shared with other students. Of course, there are many more apps out there that represent great tools for both students and teachers. Evernote, for example is listed as an educator’f favorite almost everywhere you look. Another popular app is Dropbox, a cloud-based file-sharing application that allows students and teachers to share documents when away from the classroom. //About the author: Kerry Butters writes on behalf of// [|//Broadband Genie//]//, the online comparison website for broadband and Tablet PCs, follow the link for the latest iPad deals on offer.//

[] - Good reference site from a school in Vermont (BEN & JERRY'S RULES!!) One useful and friendly to use app for iPads that I've tried is Nearpod. @http://www.nearpod.com/ media type="custom" key="16491158" media type="custom" key="16491228" It's an innovative solution for those who have the possibility of using mobile devices in the classroom and want to change a little bit the way in which students are engaged! They are still working on it, so day by day some new things appear, it's really entertained to teach in this way :D

Top 50 iPhone Apps for Educators - []

Here is an idea list for uses of the iPad in your classroom. Most of these ideas were tweeted by @ShellTerrell. They were posted by Jeff Dunn on March 26th, 2012 on the Edudemic site. I hope these help.
 * Host an outdoor scavenger hunt, take pictures of the items you need to find
 * Do a show-and-tell with multiple pictures of things that are a long distance away.Now you can show interactive media, pictures, and video of objects that you never would have been able to show in the classroom. You could do this with family members as well if you’re doing a few lessons about genealogy, family trees, etc.
 * Conduct interviews, produce entire podcasts, record roleplay scenarios, and use iMovie to edit and create an entire film.
 * Give the students questions and then have them find answers by using QR codes. Basically a treasure hunt / web quest.
 * Do a VocabBattle, a helpful way to make learning your vocabulary fun especially if you have multiple iPads at your disposal.
 * You can ‘write’ and entire e-book via dictation. Just use the voice recorder and transcription tools to see how good a ‘verbal writer’ you are.
 * Use Soundcloud to record students and then share their discussions with classmates.
 * Create commercials for projects, digital stories about particular lessons you’re teaching, and more using iMovie and other editing tools.
 * Become a news reporter and use an iPad to do everything from note-taking to photographs to multimedia production.
 * Record an animal of your choosing and produce a short presentation in iMovie, Keynote, or Pages to discuss what you learned about the animal.
 * Create short videos to define words from wordia.com and then upload them to Posterous for further sharing with the rest of the class.
 * Remember that iPhone apps still run on the iPad, just at a smaller size! So you can still utilize many of the non-iPad apps despite your awesome new Retina Display.
 * Create a free Posterous account & learners can simply email projects (audio, images, videos, text) to your Posterous which auto-posts.
 * Use Instagram as a fun way to offer a different perspective on the world around you. Great for science, technology, and photography classes.
 * Teach a few lessons about fonts. Use the Retina Display to zoom in and really examine the differences between multiple typefaces. Steve Jobs would be proud.

UPDATED for 2011: Educationa​l iPad, iPod and iPhone Apps That You and Your Kids Will Love
by WATstaff  on 11-17-2011 03:18 PM - last edited on 11-17-2011 03:18 PM  With thousands of apps available, how do you know which ones to download? Here's a list of our favorite educational apps—they're fun, they're entertaining and best of all, your kids will love them so much they won't even realize how much they are learning.


 * Note: All of these apps cost less than $3.99 unless otherwise noted and are available for purchase at the iTunes store


 * Have a favorite app for teachers, students and parents? Share it with our community here.**


 * __For Early Learners__**


 * Space Boards:** Teach handwriting, practice shapes, draw and paint all with this fun and easy-to-use app.


 * LIVE ABC HD:** Introduce kids to the alphabet with a fun, interactive musical book.


 * ABC WIldlife**: Learn about animals, see fun pictures and play games with this fun science app.


 * Wacky Safari:** Young kids have a--let's call it //unique//—sense of humor. Which is why this app that allows them to make zany animal sounds and listen to fun facts disguised as jokes is a huge hit.


 * Toddler Teasers:** Hoping to buy yourself a few minutes peace to look at People when you stand in line at the grocery store? Toddler Teasers apps are full of fun, easy games for the two-to-three set that teach them colors, letters, shapes and numbers.


 * Alphabet Animals:** Animated animals narrate these fun, colorful digital flash cards that will make sure your kids will know and recognize all their letters before they can say "Armadillo".


 * Wheels on the Bus:** Okay, so the song "The Wheels on the Bus" is a teensy bit annoying, but that doesn’t stop this 2010 parent choice gold winning app that teaches vocabulary and problem solving skills from being a huge hit with kids and parents alike.
 * TeachMe: Kindergarten:** Who knew that your kids could learn addition, subtraction, letters and letter sounds all from the comfort of your couch? Okay, so everyone knew that, but you won't believe how easy it can be!


 * [[image:http://community.weareteachers.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/361i172705B64B153239/image-size/small?v=mpbl-1&px=-1 align="left" caption="starfallabc.jpg"]]Starfall ABCs**: If you've ever used the Starfall website, you know why it's one of the most popular educational websites for early learners. Even better, now it's been transformed into this fun, simple and supereducational app for young readers.
 * Kids Song Manchine:** This app delivers upbeat, lively and educational music videos to your iPhone or iPad. Even better, several users rated the songs as "not terribly annoying" which in our opinion is about the best praise you can give to a kid's music app.


 * Read Me Stories**: Get a hand-selected, educational and fun digital storybook delivered to your iPad or iPhone every day. Sure quicker (and cheaper!) than a daily trip to the bookstore!


 * __For Elementary Students__**

 * Jelly Car and Jelly Car 2:** Your kids will think they're designing, building and racing Jelly Car racecars. Little will they know that in the process, they're learning physics and problem solving skills.


 * Pocket Frog:** Remember pet rocks? Well, pocket frogs are those, only much, much cooler. You kids will be able to breed, raise and even trade virtual pet frogs that live in customizable habitats. (Free)

Storytelling continues to gain popularity as an educational activity as it stimulates a deep thinking process, it provides opportunities for reflection and it enhances and enriches the learning experience for our students. Storytelling is a very powerful way of communicating with our peers and portrays to others who we are and what our own stories are. It also provides an opportunity to connect with a group by creating a shared experience. This is vital in any community but more so in an educational setting where we are nurturing and fostering creativity. So here are a number of apps that provide the tools for students to participate in the long and rich history of storytelling. Just because it is in a digital format does not make it any less rich to either the audience or within the medium.

Doodlecast: Doodlecast is a drawing app that records your voice as you draw. Kids can choose from prompts or start a drawing from scratch. The app records the drawing process along with audio to create videos up to three minutes long. The videos are as fun to watch as they are to create.

=[|Great Back-to-School Apps for Android]= Posted by [|Mark Stetler] on Aug 17, 2012 in [|Blog] | [|No Comments] It’s that time of year again, when students are gearing up for new classes, faces, and experiences, and parents are looking forward to reclaiming their homes, at least for a few hours during the day. Of course, kids these days no longer look to their Trapper Keepers and calculators and slide rules, but if they’re lucky enough to be tethered to an Android phone, there are a host of great mobile apps out there that can help make for a soft landing. Here are a few we really like: And naturally, if you have a good idea for a back-to-school app, or any other app for that matter, don’t hesitate to [|give us a call] and we’ll help get you started.
 * 1) [|//Lumosity//]. Lumosity is a brain-training program that offers its full functionality on a desktop, but the mobile app version is excellent in and of itself. Lumosity offers a series of mental exercises that train visual perception, memory, number sense, and vocabulary that are tailored to the user’s level.
 * 2) [|//Amazon Student//]: If your students are in college, then you’ve probably already noticed tuition and school fees climbing at an alarming rate over the last few years. This app by Amazon can take some of the edge off by helping your university kids get the best possible deals on their textbooks. Of course, for those textbooks that are available digitally, the Kindle app is still free.
 * 3) [|//Math Workout//]: We don’t recall math being all that much fun in school, but with Math Workout’s daily regimen of training exercises and drills, students can keep on top of their math skills.
 * 4) [|//Miss Spell’s Class//]//:// It’s not yet an Olympic sport, but if you were aware that there was a national texting contest, you might already think that spelling is an obsolete skill. If you’re as old-school as we are, however, you still want to make sure your kids know how to spell. This great app from the folks at Dictionary.com can help accomplish exactly that with this addictive but educational spelling game.
