Week 6

What mobile apps are available for your subject area? List and describe at least 4 apps that could be used on a smartphone, iPod, or iPad in the classroom. There are mobile apps for education sections in each of the subject area chapters in the Roblyer and Doering book.

Since I teach Kindergarten all subject areas are my subject areas.
Science: iPad NASA HD app would be awesome for my boys. They love space. This app shows a lot of real pictures that astronauts have taken. It also gives current information NASA's projects and the next launch.

Reading and Writing: 
Alpha Writer from Montessorium is an app for the iPad or iPhone where a child is able to learn how to write letters and spell phonetically while creating a story. It also stores their work so that the parent or teacher can keep track of how their child's handwriting changes and develops. 

Interactive Alphabet teaches children to recognize upper and lower case letters and their sounds. There is an automatic challenger every 15 seconds for students that need to be challenged. If your child does not need to be challenged then the app does not challenge that child. It is based off of the flashcards that the child gets correct.

Park Math by Duck Duck Moose is a great introduction math app that can be used on an iPad or iPhone. It has many different games that teaches children how to count up to 50 and how to add and subtract through story problems.
