After reviewing some of the apps useful for Ipads provided in the three lists, I noticed I already use some, and I saw others that I would like to use in the future. I was given an Ipad last summer at a 5 day Math training, and we were given time to download several suggested free apps. At this training, I downloaded, CS core, Edmondo, Dropbox, Geoboard, Docer, PocketRulers, Docs U Free, MathSnacksHD, Geometry Pad, and a few others. Of these apps, I have used Edmondo and Dropbox for teacher collaboration at a district level. I am also a big fan of GoogleDrive this app allows me to access many of my big computer files on my phone and Ipad. This has been extremely helpful.
Our district has informed us that Parlier will be receiving classroom sets of Ipad very shortly, so I am looking forward to exploring more of the interactive apps with the children. I liked the description of Nearpod, which seems like it will engage the students and help the teacher monitor and assess learning. Another app that sounds exciting is the Number Line. Students need a lot of practice with this math concept. It is a major concept in the new Math Common Core. Students must feel comfortable with it and be able to justify their answers using a number line diagram. So digital practice with it will only give the students yet another avenue to understand the concept.
There are others that I would also like try, EarthObserver, Leafsnap, and Khan Academey , to help supplement the common core standards in History and Science. I think the children would enjoy the app Scribble Press to spark writing and drawing. This will supplement the Language Arts curriculum.
