1. Discuss free educational apps you reviewed.
I love the word "apps". itouch apps can be so much fun and funny!
I did enjoy looking for various apps and here are a few I plan to use:
Math drills lite and Read me stories-children's books.
The math app went from addition to division. It tracked students progress with accuracy and speed graphs. Second graders need to know their addition and subtraction math facts before going into 3rd grade.
The reading stories teaches new words and new concepts.
2. Discuss ways your students could use the iTouch or iPad and appropriate apps in your class.
I plan to use these in small groups during reading instruction. There are sight word apps and this could be used in a stations as well. This is really going to motivate the kids to keep them interested in the lessons. You can't go wrong with this piece of technology. I love that there are so many free apps.
I love the iTouches too. It's been fun having them in the library. I hadn't heard of that Read Me Stories app though. I'm going to have to add that onto my library iTouches. Thanks for sharing.
