Tool #10

1. These are some of the free apps I reviewed in the list of the "Top 50 Free Educational Apps".

Math Drills Lite: a great app for students to practice basic math operations
BrainPOP Featured Movie – BrainPOP®: teachers are already using brainpop but would also be good to be able to use it individually by students
Algebra: High School and College Math Practice Problems – Allen Resources, Inc.: good app for extra help and practice in algebra, also looks like it would help in test taking strategies specifically in algebra and other math subjects
Basic Math – Explorer Technologies: another app for practicing basic math operations

2. Didn't get a chance to play around with an itouch, iphone, or ipad.

3. Having these mobile devices and apps in the classroom would really take care of getting rid of wasted downtime. It would be great for those students that seem to "get everyting" and finish their work early. Give them one of the devices and have them continue practicing skills but in a fun and interesting way!

  1. This is a great way to reinforce student's learning and they will do it by playing and it keeps the advanced students engaged.
