With the growth of technology, comes more tools for educators to use in the classroom. Here are just four ipad apps that can be used in the classroom.
Language Arts: Grammar Up
Grammar Up is an app that allows students practice with grammar content. This app gives students a brief explanation of the grammar topic of choice and then gives them around ten questions to answer using the grammar skill. The questions are multiple choice and allow students to chose the best answer for the question. You can motify the app based on level. Another good app for grammar for primary students is Grammar Jammers.
Science: Our Solar System
Our Solar System is a great app for students to visualize the solar system. Students can tap on the solar system and watch the orbit of each planent around the sun. The students can also tap on each of the planets and get some basic information. I use this app when I first introduce the solar system so the students can get a great visual of the movement of the system.
Geography: KidsWorldMap
KidsWorldMap is a great app for students to use to explore the countries and contents. Students can choose any place on Earth and get a tutorial of information for this location. This app also provides a question/game property. Students are given quizes based on open areas of the map. They get points for correct answers and new areas can be opened and studied.
Math: WormJump HD
WormJump HD is an interactive game for students to practice basic math facts. In this game students race through a maze answering math facts. They can choose the level of the game, which will change the speed of the questions and the level of the facts. If students give too many wrong answers or take too long, then they are eaten (They are a worm being chased by a bird).
