Elementary Apps Explorer

After searching and playing around with a handful of educational apps I was able to find a few that I thought would be beneficial to a Kindergarten classroom.  These apps focused on learning letters, colors, shapes, numbers, and also helped on memory.  The three apps that I chose to focus on were Kindergarten Kids Learning, Kids University, and Kindergarten Activities.  I chose these apps because they focused on the main criteria that Kindergartners should be learning.

The first app I will start with is Kindergarten Kids Learning which I found on Google Play.  I enjoyed this app because it focused on numbers, alphabet, painting, rhymes, charts, and educational games.  The cheerful music plus fun features made this app an ideal candidate for classroom use.  The second app, Kids University, was a fun app to explore.  With 5 different areas of learning this app creates a fun and entertaining learning experience.  Lastly, Kindergarten Activities, was a great app that provided activities for the students to practice what they have been learning.

My students could use these apps for a handful of purposes.  From learning new items to refreshing on items they have already learned.  By giving each student an Ipad they could work on the different activities that each of these apps offer.  These apps could support my lessons on learning what sound each letter makes, learning colors, shapes, and numbers, and even matching.  I believe they fit the curriculum because they cover what a Kindergartner should be learning.
