Appy Friday 11/21/14

Appy Friday! Sorry it's been so long since I have posted. My schedule has been extremely busy!


Early Childhood


Mr. Cupcake has the sprinkles - An interactive animated storybook by Mighty Yeti Studios
normally $2.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mr.-cupcake-has-sprinkles/id913284959?mt=8
Interactive story about a guy with a cupcake for a head. The child can tap on different things on the page to activate animations. Many early learning books, the child presses a button to turn the page, this one you swipe like iBooks. For OTs, this works on visual discrimination and finger isolation. The only thing I wished it did was read with highlighting.



Elementary


Expressions for Autism by Clun LIA
normally $0.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/expressions-for-autism/id591548949?mt=8
This app you select four main emotions: happy, sad, angry, and scared. They give a short background story and then the student has to match: eyebrows, eyes and mouth. For a free app, it was pretty good. With an in app purchase you can purchase disgust, embarrassed, surprised, tired, bored and uneasy. However, some of the eye selections were very similar and you may consider working on it ahead of time so you can explain what the differences are to your student. For OTs and Special Educators this would be a great supplementary activity for Zones of Regulation curriculum. OTs can also use this to practice finger isolation and dragging skills.



Middle-High School


OCR C2 by ieducation solutions (algebra, trig, and integration)
normally $2.99
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ocr-c2/id860007404?mt=8
iEducation actually has all of its math tutorial apps for free and these links are listed below. This app allows you to watch videos on how to solve various math problems. (Beware of ads). I would not just push this app out to students to be used as a reference. There is just too much tutorials to sift through and I highly doubt any student would watch these just for kicks. However, this would be a great resource for teachers who want to do a flipped classroom but do not have the time to make a video for every lesson or just getting started with flipped classrooms.
