I am also an elementary education teacher. I will definitely look up these apps. We are introducing iPads into the classroom next year. I am a little nervous, because I have never used an iPad! I am behind the times!
ReplyDeleteI think I would really like the Math Drills by Instant Interactive application. i feel like this app would be very beneficiary to my 4th graders. I usually have about 21 students in my class so all students could use this app. I also like how it tracks each students progress. By tracking their progress you can see which students are struggling and need more help. I am definitely going to try this app on my own I-pad. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the NASA app but the Day in History is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love the World Book App. I think my students would think it was cool to see things that happened on each day in history. I love that you added pictures! Looks great!
