I love technology and technology in the
classroom is a way for the children to use the latest technology in their
learning process. I have been fortunate
to introduce an iPad into the classroom and the available resources both online
and through the apple app store is AMAZING!!*
iPad Applications
ABC – Alphabet - This application allows
children to work on writing the letters of the alphabet both upper and lower
case letters. The application also takes
in strokes encouraging children to form the letters correctly. **** (Love this app)
Learn Numbers - This application ask children to
recognize numbers using everyday items.
The app may say number 2 and it will use a street sign or address
numbers. This applies real life
materials into the learning process. **
great application for number recognition
Preschool Pop Quiz - I love this application for
use of vocabulary. Awesome app to use
with English Language Learners, although it is timed and that frustrates the
children it is a great application to see what vocabulary children recognize.
Storia - Free application offered through
scholastic. When registering Scholastic
offers 5 free books. This is a great
reading application and the illustrations are shown on the page as well in
color. My Favorite thing about this app
is that it READS to the children also!!! ***** Love, Love, Love this app!!!
Websites
ABCya.com - I love this website because you can
choose the level of learning you can choose the activity.
Starfall.com - I use this website to help
children play with letters. The children
can choose a letter and it plays with words that have the beginning letter and
the beginning letter sound. Also when
studying a project of interest this website has some games around themes such
as pumpkins, earth day, the gingerbread man, etc.
Turtlediary.com - Similar to ABCya.com this
website allows you to choose the grade level and the subject. This website provides a great variety of
resources at different learning levels. **
