Getting to know the ipad

Wow! You really need a lot of time to look at all this thing can do. So far I've looked at the keynote program. I liked how easy it was to take pictures which were stored for later use.
I began to look at the world language apps thinking that as the subject in the elementary schools is now being covered by the class teachers, many of whom do not feel confident in this area, it would be helpful to have something for pronunciation and vocabulary at an introductory level. So far I've found Learn French and Play (also 2), and MyWorld Spanish for iPAD. I can see these apps being very user friendly with a class group.
So far, so good. Back to playing!

  1. Are you using any of these apps in your classroom? Would like to hear how they worked or didn't, for students. Sounds interesting!
