Teacher Apps
|
|
Dropbox
|
I use Dropbox on my
iPad as well as on my laptop. It helps
me to seamlessly transfer documents wirelessly. I have also used the app for students to
save their projects so that we can easily retrieve them for viewing or
editing.
|
|
Blackboard
 |
I have a class website
on Blackboard. I am able to quickly
and easily add links, assignments, and announcements directly from the
app. My students are also able to log
in and complete their assignment through the app instead of having to go to a
computer.

|
Remind 101
 |
I try to send out a
weekly email to my parents letting them know what is going on that week. I have found that some of my parents do not
always check their email. I began
using Remind 101 to stay in contact with my parents. This app allows me to send a text message
or email message or both to my parents.
It is very easy to implement. You
can find all of the directions here: https://www.remind101.com/

|
Common Core
 |
The app makes it easy
for me to access the standards no matter where I am. I don’t have to have them printed out when
I am working on lesson plans or seeing what I have left to cover.

Ghostwriter Notes
 |
This is by far one of
my favorite apps!! It costs $3.99 but it is definitely worth it. I normally carry my iPad with me at
trainings and conferences to take notes.
This app allows you to add pictures in your notes. You are able to write using a stylus or
type your notes.
|
|
Groovy Grader
 |
This app takes the
place of the old slide graders. You
enter the number of questions and it gives you a list of the score for each
missed question. Super easy to use!
|
|
Sticky Notes
 |
This app is great for
student and teacher use. I use this
app to help keep myself organized. I
am able to create sticky notes in varying colors, fonts, and text colors. I can screen shot the page and have all my
notes in one place. My students use
this app while reading in small groups to write questions they may have or
words they may not know. We are able
to quickly review their questions when they come to my small group.
|
|
Pinterest
 |
This is app is my go to
place to find ideas on teaching different skills. I have also contemplated creating boards
for my students to use with links to specific websites for research projects. This would ensure that students are on safe
sites.
|
|
Timer+
 |
This is timer is great
to use for timed reading or for timing center rotations. It is easy for students to use as well.

Student Apps
|
|
|
Discovery Education
 |
With this app, if you have
a United Streaming account, students can view videos, photos, and files on
the iPad. This is great to use as a
review station when you don’t need to show a video to the whole class or if a
student misses part of your lesson that used United Streaming you can easily
show him the video alone.
|
|
spelling city
 |
Students can log into
your spelling lists or vocabulary lists on the iPad for review instead of
using the computer.
|
|
Scootpad
 |
Scootpad allows students
to sign in (after the teacher creates their account) to practice all of the
Common Core standards for math and reading.
It moves students through the standards at their own pace. Teachers are able to access the students’
data and see how each student is performing.
It is free to test, but you can pay to be able to use more features.
|
|
Singapore math
 |
This free app uses
Singapore Math methods (Bar Models) to allow students to visualize math word
problems. There are different grade
levels available. This app makes
working through word problems more interactive and fun.
|
|
stack the states
 |
This app helps students
learn state capitals and flags. There
are more features available in the full app which costs $0.99.
|
Enjoy!!!
