  13. Just downloaded an app called ghostwriter notes. It was on appsgonefree that we loaded during our meeting. It looks like it would be easy and fun for students to use. Let me know what you think.

    1. That was great to experience because next year when we find apps that are free for a day we can install them on all of the iPads.

  22. Tim, I'm having trouble with my iPad. The button which is used to control most everything will not work at all today. It never has worked as it should. The only part of the iPad I can use is Safari because that's where it is. It also will not shut down when I close the cover. I'm leaving tomorrow. Any suggestions?

      Also, the cases you have to do not shut the iPad down when you cover it. That only happens with the magnetic covers that are made by Apple.

  24. I just downloaded that Math app and clicked on the blog to tell you all about it but Kelly and Janet were way ahead of me :-)
    If you scroll all the way to the bottom on Appsgonefree there is an interesting compass app.

  25. Found another free app. It's called Story Kit. You can read a few stories, write, and add pictures. You can even use words!,

  26. I just played Smarter than a Fifth Grader. It was fun, even though I didn't challenged any of my friends. I can see how kids who enjoy it. It would be a great review tool for fifth graders to review third and fourth grade skills.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I downloaded Arithmetic Invaders Express. It is also free. It incorporates outer space and math. It starts out by reviewing counting. Each level advances to a harder skill-addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Third graders could use it to review skills learned in K-2. Then use it to practice multiplication. Fourth and Fifth Graders to review skills. You have to get a winning percentage to move to the next level. It keeps track of scores. I don't have a lot of experience with video games but I thought it was kid friendly.

  29. Just so everyone knows Reading Rainbow just came out with an iPad app!!!! I went to the App Store and searched "Reading Rainbow".
    I would love to get your thoughts on the app. You should, "Take a look...in a book...the Reading Rainbow" :-)

    1. I just downloaded the reading rainbow app. atfer the "trial" it told me my parent had to register me. Would we be able to register our students?

      Delete
    2. To register costs $9.99 a month or $29.99 special for 6 months. You get one free book. That's not good!

    3. Thanks for digging into the app Kelly and Sally. This will be part of the challenge in using apps mainly that some apps are "free" but very limited unless you pay. I look forward to finding more effective tools that don't cost as much.

  30. There is an app called Solids Elementary. Allows the student to explore how solids are put together and all their characteristics. Pretty interesting.

  31. Check out Sail Through Math. It is free for a limited time. It seems to be a good practice of Math Facts.

  32. Check out iTooch Grade 3 (4 or 5 available also). It has activities for Language arts, math, and science.

  33. Sorry, I messed things up by using my personal iPad also. The iTooch writing actives looked good. Hopefully this time my name will show.If not.....Sally S.

  34. I've been playing on an app called Bluster from Mc Graw Hill. It lets you choose the grade level and skill, grades 2-4. Students can choose synonyms, prefixes and suffixes, word roots. It would work for grade 5 also.

  36. Thanks, Tim. Becky and I called each other and chatted some more. We tried to call you back, but you didn't answer.

    1. I would always enjoy chatting with any of you through July. If you have your iPad open it shows that you are logged into Oovoo but a person needs Oovoo open in order to receive a call.

  37. I'm very proud of all of you as you are experimenting with the iPads this summer. I love that we are looking into ways of using graphic organizers, books, videos and apps.

  38. Loved Bluster, but I think the words are pretty challenging!

  39. This might be a little more advanced but I just downloaded Puzzle Quizzes from Apps Gone Free and it is pretty neat. It would be fun for our advanced 5th graders in Math. A lot of geometry puzzles.
