Appy Friday iPad/Android Users!
Hope you are staying dry in all of the rain we have been having! This week there are several note-taking and planning apps for older students this week. But in general, there seems to be less apps on sale than normal. No worries though, there is always next week! :)
Happy Downloading,

Early Childhood
Clicky Land -Educational App by Hisashi Maeda
Normally $1.99
Clicky land is a cause and effect app for very beginning, young iPad users. There two buttons. One that makes your guy jump and then other that spits out marbles. Letters and pictures float across the screen and your job is to hit the items and it will identify them (reminds me of collecting coins on Ninentendo Mario Brothers). A little seal pops up from the ground and that is where you spit out the marble to stop it from bumping into you. Special Educators can use this to teach letter awareness. Occupational Therapists can work on finger isolation, visual discrimination, visual processing speed and accuracy.

Math on the Farm by WebTeam Corporation
normally $1.99
Math on the Farm works on simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and fraction word and number problems with a farm theme. If you get it wrong or don't answer the question in the time allotted, it will move onto the next problem so you are not just promoting errorless learning. It gives a cute animation with the correct answer and the problems are read aloud for students who need reading support. It gives your score at the end of the problem set. What I don't like is the problems are timed and there is this clicking noise which I find really distracting (and for some kids might be anxiety producing). You can't turn the timer off, though you can give them a lot of time. I also don't like that you can't hop to the main screen to change the settings when you are in middle of the problem set, you have to exit the app and go back in. I also didn't see a way to email your results, you would have to snap a screen shot.

Middle-High School
iPlaniShare by NutriSoft LTD
Normally $2.99
If you wanted to put your entire life in a binder, this would be it! It is an all in one planner that includes schedules, to do lists, regular lists, projects, weekly goals, monthly goals, business ledger, personal ledger, exercise, meal planner, recipes, and cleaning. It has options for reminder alerts and prioritizing. If you are doing collaborative projects, you can share sections of your planner that they can view (projects, todos). It is fairly easy to use but if you aren't sure what to do, it comes with video tutorials by tapping on the help. What I really liked about it, is it fits a need for high school students who are working on more functional life skills and don't need traditional homework planners. Students could share their lists with peers and teachers who are going on the same community outing or share it with parents or caregivers. The app then easily transitions for all kids out of high school to keep their life in order.
Always free, Always awesome
Tell Time Little Match Ups Games by Innovative Investments Limited
Tell time works on matching two pictures of clocks, one analog and one digital. The student drags the items on the left to the matching clock on the right side. The app is easily customizable, you can select what time increments are tested, the number of items on a page (from 2-8), change game sounds and most importantly, the ability to add additional pictures and record your own voice. This way you can take pictures of clocks in your school or community environment to make sure your student can apply their knowledge to their own world. The only thing I don't like is it only has an errorless learning mode, so there is no way to receive data. You will need to use a different app for this purpose.
