We were lucky enough to get a set of iPod Touches for the school. Although, I am an avid iPhone user, I don't have any children at home so I don't know much about educational apps for kids. I am on the hunt for some so, if you use any great apps in your classroom or at home with your own children please send them my way. The boys loved the Touches and I am always amazed at how quickly all this technology has developed. I can't wait to see what all is available when these students are my age!
p.s. Just for the record, it was Hat Day. We don't usually have hats on in the classroom. :-)
Hi Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteWe too, are on the hunt for great apps for Kindergarteners; especially free ones. We are still figuring out Apple's Volume Pricing Program.
Some places I have found to be good references are : IEAR.org (and their Ning - ieducationappsreview.ning.com), http://learninginhand.com/ipod/, and http://web.me.com/eccsms/poddytraining/Poddy_Training.html.
One of our Kindergarten teachers is recording on her class blog our first adventure with iPods in her Kindergarten Class. When she's finished, I'll share the link with you!
Thanks! I can't wait to see her blog. I will post some apps when I find some good ones.
