Mobile apps are very important in the classroom because it keeps students engaged in their learning. In our special needs classroom, we have 3 ipads and 3 computers we use. The students really enjoy the graphics and the fun interactive games! We also have a smartboard where the students can watch videos and interact in the game.
Special Education apps: Turn Taker- used for special needs students to teach sharing with others. This can be used on a smartphone.
English apps: ABC Writing Zoo Animals By Brain Counts- Teaches early reading and writing at an early age.
ELL and FL learning: Fluent English (Smartphone) and Spanish Flashcards (Ipad and Iphone). Teaching ESL students how to speak english.
The importance of mobile apps is important not only in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. Students should be encouraged to learn at home and through technology. I absolutely love using technology in my classroom and I think that these apps would benefit my students!
Wow! You're very lucky to have a classroom with three iPads, three computers and a smartboard. Having these devices so available opens a wide range of possibilities to incorporate technology in daily activities.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn,
ReplyDeleteHaving smartphones, tablets, and iPads are great technology usages on the go. Being able to transport mobile devices and buying apps made it possible for children and adults to learn and create assignments anywhere.
