Module 4 Assignment 3: "iPad Apps"

As a relatively new iPad user, I am still learning about the different apps that are available.  I am pleased to see that in the App Store there is an education section to help me at least find a starting point.

Dragon Dictation is an app that I have already downloaded to my iPad, and I plan to use it beginning in the fall with struggling writers.  I haven't used Facetime or Screen Chomp yet, but I did download Screen Chomp.  My 13-year-old son has used Screen Chomp in class and was able to give me a quick tutorial.

I downloaded a new Sight Word app simply because my project for this Web 2.0 class will be based on sight words.  This app has sight words already loaded into flashcards and games, but any individual can create their own recorded flashcards for any sight word list.  I wanted to use this app more this year, but I wasn't successful.  All first grade teachers plan to use this app beginning next fall.  I love anything that I can customize to meet my needs!
