My 5 Apps
Apps are a great way to further
implement fun and creativity into schoolwork and the classroom.
If I had a classroom and my
school had just purchased Android Tablets for the students, these are 5 apps
that I would integrate in my classroom!
1)
Kahoot! – Is a fun quiz app. Teachers can put in
review sheets to make quiz games that can be played in class or at home if
students have the app. Students can also challenge each other from different
devices and by doing so make their own “study group.”
2)
Multiplication Table Kids Math – Can be for many
ages from 2nd-6th grade. I remember writing my multiplication
tables each day in elementary! This is a fun way for kids to review and study
their multiplication skills. Kids can also duel each other by using a slit
screen.
3)
Sand Draw Sketch Drawing Pad: Creative Doodle Art
– Instead of getting out the paper and pencil, kids can use this app to “draw
in the sand.” It can be used for games like tic-tac-toe, for reviewing spelling
words, and for artistic drawing. Very good and interactive for many ages.
Teachers have said this app helps with special needs kids such as those with
autism, or just for those who need a hands-on method.
4)
Tic Toc Time – Fun app to help children ages 5-8
learn to tell time. It uses the sun, shadows, day, and night to help kids learn
about time so they can understand the concept and so they can read a clock
face. Provides a great and fun review for time-telling. However it does costs $4.49.
5)
Math is Fun – I’m sure Mrs. S would agree! J
This is a simple app that can help kids review +/˗/×/÷ It has 3 levels –
easy, medium, and hard. It gives the challenger 2 minutes to do as many
equations as they can, so it is easy for kids to share if there are not enough
devices available.
I would use Google Play App
Store to get these apps. I found all of them on there for FREE! Except for Tic Toc Time which costs $4.49. One downside to Google Play App Store is that some of the apps on there do not have very many reviews.
Apps provide students with
hand-on learning experiences and are another avenue for children to review
material they have already learned!
ReplyDeleteAn App I could put to use in my classroom would be Tic Toc Time. This App however is not free, it is $4.49. Unfortunately I also did not like that it has very little reviews on Google Play.
Kahoot!
That is a very creative app and has 5 million downloands with over 40,000 reviews. I already downloaded the App and will try it.
Thanks Sharon
So sorry about the misinformation on Tic Toc Time. I completely overlooked the cost when I was looking at it. Thank you for pointing that out; I will update that information. I also noticed when I first looked that it sadly did not have very many reviews. Thanks, Pati!
DeleteI love Kahoot! I used Kahoot! in high school, and it was a great experience, however I'm not sure how it could be used for children in the elementary level. I'm assuming Kahoot! has changed a lot since I last used it!
