An app for...PARENTS!

PBS has designed a great app for parents.  This app has thirteen games that parents can play with their children.  The app is available in both English and Spanish.  This app provides parents with opportunities to talk to their children about real world scenarios.  It is an added bonus that math and literacy skills are embedded in the games!  Best of all...the app is free!

I hope that you will take some time and download this app and explore it with your child.

Here is a link to download the app in the iTunes store.

If you try out this app, leave a comment and let me know what you and your child think!

What is this blog?

We are fortunate this year to have an iPad to use in our classroom.  I know many of my students have access to a tablet or smart phone at home.  I want to share ways we are using the iPad in class so you can possibly use them at home!  This blog will include information about new apps we are using as well as other useful information about iPads.  If you have an app you would like to share with our class, please feel free to leave a comment or use the contact me form!  I look forward to sharing lots of fun technology information with you.
