ios Apps
Apps for tablets and smart phones provide a great option to have very interactive technology often at a budget price. We find many apps on Pinterest, blogs, websites, and we rely on friends and families to share information also. Below are some of our favorites. Since we primarily use IPads, apps listed below are for IOS (Apple)devices, but many are available through Google Market for android devices.
* Great IPad/IPhone tip for teachers and parents: Lock your child into one app at a preset volume using IOS Accessibility feature "Guided Access". ( settings, accessibility, guided access ) Adult presets a 4 digit code to set up this feature. Once set up, areas of the screen that are off limits to curious minds can also be disabled by circling them ( see video ). These features keep your student in one app.
