Hi iPad users! I hope everyone had a great winter break and is ready for the second half of the school year! Beyond the reviews, notable links this week include apps for English Language Instruction (ELI, ELL, ESL, New to English, etc) and middle school level math.
This week's reviews:
Early Childhood
Oobie's Space Adventure by VHS Designs
normally $0.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oobies-space-adventure/id435643345?mt=8
This is a simple interactive storybook about space where you can have the book read to you, read individually and auto play. The animation is cute and has sound effects on every page.
Elementary
Schoolkit Math by Scott Glickman (ages 6-8)
normally $1.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/schoolkit-math/id775643572?mt=8
This is a virtual manipulative app that allows students to have access to tons of math manipulatives. It comes with a default set of arrays, fraction kit, hundreds chart, money, number houses, number line number tiles, ten frame and tether math. But if you select "all tools" find more including some for algebra, times tables, graphs, clocks, comparison, etc. This app has one basic math operations activity (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to have some independent practice.
Middle-High school
Dream-X by Pavel Tarabrin (mind-map)
normally $4.99
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dream-x/id684824957?mt=8
This is a mind-map graphic organizing app. It's simple and not much to it. The main limitation is you can only save it as a picture which can be shared to your photo roll or emailed as a photo attachment. I do prefer Inspiration Maps because it has more templates available, but it's lite version limits the number of documents you have. So Dream-X this is a good alternative, but only when you can download it for free!
