Apps Gone Free.....

   There seemed to be a TON of free ones today that I liked from Apps Gone Free - the ones that I popped into Configurator are these six:

1. iLuv Drawing People HD - normally $2.99 - free today!  This app guides children through the process of drawing people.  Audio instructions included, too!  20 drawings to choose from and the option to save to camera roll!

2. Solar: Weather - normally $1.99 - free today!  The app presents you with two colors on the main screen - the top color is the current weather while the bottom represents the current temperature.  Swipe from the bottom to the top to see the weather changes throughout the day - pretty cool:)!

3. Puppet Workshop - normally $2.99 - free today!  Allow your child's imagination to go wild!!  Kids can choose from 20 different sock puppets or craft their own.  They can also choose backgrounds and put the puppet on display - I can see a TON of uses for this;)

4. Retromatic HD - normally $2.99 - free today!  Craft your own retro-style poster with this photo effects app.  You can import a photo or snap a new one - then grab what's necessary!

5. Composer's Piano - normally $4.99 - free today!  Compose your own music with this digital piano app!  You can also layer sounds together if you wish!!  When you're ready to play - hit record and tap away at the keys:)!

6. DoReMi 1-2-3: For Kids - normally $1.99 - free today!  This app teaches children major scales, scale placement and pitch recognition.  This includes 6 songs , a free play mode and the ability to record the child's tunes!

WOW - That was A LOT for today!  Again - I TOTALLY encourage you to download them and TRY TRY TRY!  Please know that we will NOT be having ALL THESE apps on our iPads next year!!  You still have to find the BEST ones that will help with the content that you are teaching - KEEP THAT IN MIND:)!!

Happy Friday - we have been starting to talk about end of the year procedures, so I will post that as we have a "plan" in place - thoughts have been rolling, though!

CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

We have been looking for something in regards to coding for our senior high school students.  They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say.  Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS .  THIS IS AMAZING:)!!!  Once you sign up, you are taken through a series of courses where you actually code.  You type in the commands and functions, trying to walk Karel, the dog, through various tasks.  Each section features a video explaining what you'll learn, a quiz to review, and then you step in and use what you learned to code Karel.  This seems like a really good fit for some of our kids.  We have two that are going into Computer Science, and this seems like a perfect stepping stone as it introduces HTML , Javascript and Python as they are also areas they will learn:). AND the best part - it's DONE FOR YOU and IT'S FREE!! Of COURSE you can pay for more, but i...

Starfall Website......

  I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT!  The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here.  Below is a list of content for the little ones:    The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section.  They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went.  They were TOTALLY engaged!  They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress.    A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:(  - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)
