Tool 10 -Mobile Apps

There are many free apps available that can enhance the children's learning. One of my favorites was "Math Drills Lite"--this particular "app" has a variety of activities where the children can practice their computation skills. Another "app" I reviewed was "Read Me Stories". As an ESL lesson the children can use this "app" to improve their reading in English. They have an opportunity to listen to the story being read and at the same time they see the pictures with the words that are being read. Children will have an opportunity to read along. I'm very excited to continue to explore other "apps" that are available.

The "iTouch" and "iPad" can be used in a center or small group instruction to enhance learning. The teacher will be able to monitor as children engage in the various activities targeting specific skills.
