Appy Friday iPad users! There are A LOT of apps, so I am sorry that it took me so late to post this to you. This looks like a good week for math apps!
Happy downloading!

This week's reviews:
Early Childhood
Draw with hearts - Happy Valentine's Day by L'Escapadou
normally $0.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id419003288?mt=8
This is a simple drawing app that puts out a line of streaming hearts. You can make some changes to it's appearance such as the heart color, effect, size, and beat. This could be a simple cause and effect activity for emergent touch screen users or you can use it for practicing tracing pre-writing strokes or letters (teacher/therapist would write and then the student would change heart color and trace). If your student isn't interested in hearts for Valentines day, the developer has a similar app called Draw with Stars.
Elementary:
Learn English for Kids - Ottercall (pronunciation) by Ottercall
normally $0.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/learn-english-for-kids-ottercall/id487806989?mt=8
*Android available (lite version call speak better english), see android section for link
You read the word on the screen into the microphone and it uses speech recognition to determine how you did. You receive immediate feedback and a score. If you did well, an animation happens (the otter catches a fish and puts it in its bucket). This app is intended for English Language learners, but it would be a great for Special Education teachers and Speech Language Pathologists to help kids to practice intelligibility and for single word reading skills. Some kids may be frustrated or sensitive about their scores. Either wait until they feel more confident or encourage the student to try again. You can try many times if you don't like your score.
Middle-High School:
net wars - The Butterfly attack (episode 1) by Bastei Luebbe AG (for middle-high school)
normally $2.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netwars-butterfly-attack-episode/id842605628?mt=8
*Android available, see android section for link
So many of the interactive storybooks are geared for younger readers. This is one of the few geared for kids ages 12 and above. It's in a comic book format, so a lot of the text are in speech bubbles or part of the graphics. Working through the story requires the student to either swipe through pages or tap interactive elements on the screen. For OTs, you could work on figure ground, visual discrimination and practice touch screen gestures (tap and swipe).
