Fishtropolis
On May 1, 2012, I rented an iPad from the library. The
homework was to pick two apps from the iPad and play with them. I am then
supposed to write a review about these two apps. The first app I chose is
called “fishtropolis”. This app is a game where you take the name of a fish,
and find words out of the name once they scramble the letters. After you submit
the word; it will give you the definition of the word. I think this is a great
game for students to use because it helps them with their spelling. It also
helps them out with the meanings of different words. I would use this in my
classroom because this game is fun and educational at the same time. I had a
lot of fun with this game.
Kids Math
The other app I chose is called “kids math”. Now I did
not download this one; it was already on the iPad when I got it. This game is
where you either add or subtract fruit. There are numbers on the fruit at the
top of the screen; then the fruit get counted out on the screen. If the
equation is subtracting; an X goes on the ones that they are getting rid of.
All the students have to do is count out the fruit and then pick the star that
has the right number. I would use this game in my class because it is fun, and
it helps the students with their adding and subtracting. This game was a lot of
fun, and it was addicting as well. This game is very educational. I had a lot of
fun using the iPad. I want an iPad so bad. I would recommend everyone using an
iPad.
