Apple+Education+Tools



This looks amazing. Unfortunately, I don't have a MAC. If I did then I would definately use some of these tools in my students. (Janet)

Apple has apps for math games, vocabulary, anatomy visualizers, etc. Apparently there's an app for every subject at every grade level. I know that I would not be able to use this in my classroom but it could be something to pass on to parents. If we could get the kids to play these educational games at home, it will help support their classroom learning and it might get them away from some of the more "brainless" games that they may tend to gravitate towards. Getting to play with your parents iPhone might be motiavation enough to switch games! (S.M.)

On the iMac, you can convert almost any text into an audio file by selecting the "add to itunes as a spoken track" service. This application would be extremely helpful to one of my visually impaired students, as well as any student in my class learning to read. (Monica)

There is an app that can be downloaded on an ipod or ipad where you can put a word a flashcard and add audio to it. I could use this for my students who are learning to read, are ELL, or have audio processing disorders. (Lisa)
