Apps in the class

[danika]

We generously received 3 iPads last week in our Kindergarten classroom (private school) with 14 kids and only 2 teachers we are trying to find great learning lessons and games? The best we have found so far is SMARTY K (multiple subjects, lessons and games)....Does anyone have any other recommendations?
thank you

Check out ABC Tracing. Allows to tracing of abc's. There are several apps that I've got that I use with my daughter to help with colors, shapes,123's & abc's

Not sure how useful it will be in your class, but Cramberry is good for flash cards. It doesn't have any interesting graphics or music that kids would like, but you may find some use for it.

How cool is that! Were you guys surprised?

Teach me Kindergarten is excellent. My kids love it. Pocket Phonics and Alphabet Tracing are also good. There are free "light" versions of both of these you can try.

Well worth checking his other blog posts on using the iPad in education.

I recently came across "Butterfly Math". I gave it a spin with my 4 years old and she loves it. The app has an unique way to teach the concepts of numbers, counting and basic arithmetic. Additionally, the reward scene is very creative as well. A good value!
