Hi, I am Sarah Pickles, a fourth grade teacher at LCS. I got my iPad 2 this summer as I wanted to know more about using it in teaching and learning. I am still a novice but as I have been chatting with parents it seemed there were a lot of parents just as curious about using the iPads with their children. At our first meeting I shared these apps with parents:
Everyday Mathematics
There are many apps for games that are part of the Everyday Maths program we use in school, which are free.
Book Creator
To publish their stories or create their own books (paid app)
Brainpop
There is one free video from this site on all sorts of subjects every day. (free app)
Planet Earth
Just found this great app which fits perfectly with Grade 4's new unit of inquiry. It shows you the structure of the Earth, the rotation and lots more! Perfect for our unit on Earth Science.
We will be sharing more apps on this site that we think are useful for you and your children to use.
We'll keep you posted! Like Tanja, I get a lot of my links from Twitter and the websites we have posted to the right.
