The Top Educational iPhone/iPad Apps

That’s a valid point Jason. Ever­Note is cer­tain­ly a great app. I main­ly focused on the Edu­ca­tion cat­e­go­ry for the sake of nar­row­ing down the pos­si­ble choic­es. It was tough enough pick­ing only a few to men­tion there, can’t imag­ine how tough it would be with the whole App Store to con­sid­er. Also, apps like Ever­Note seem to get plen­ty of cov­er­age else­where.

I am the mom of a 4 years old lit­tle girl and I have an iphone ! I found out that in the app­store there were not enough good edu­ca­tion­al games for kids to devel­opp their abil­i­ties and intel­li­gence . So I decid­ed to devel­op an appli­ca­tion which will help and also give some fun for kids to play, to learn and write their alpha­bet and words.

This app “Write my name” is ded­i­cat­ed to all the par­ents who love to teach their child how to write their name or any words.
“Write my name” can help teach your kids to spell !

“Write my name” is an edu­ca­tion­al game which helps your chil­dren rec­og­nize the let­ters of their name and how to place them in order.

This game is very sim­ple, you will like this easy app :
— You or your child enter your child’s name (or anoth­er word).
— Let­ters appear on the screen ran­dom­ly.
— The kids have to place them in the cor­rect order.

You can also play with any words.
This game will also help your kid to rec­og­nize words, boost his visu­al mem­o­ry and con­sti­tute a pre-learn­ing to read­ing skill.

Sum­mer is here ! Make sure the kids get ready for the next school year :
“Write your name” helps tod­dlers, preschool­ers, and kinder­gar­dens learn some basic words :
— Preschool­ers, and kinder­gart­ners will learn to write and play with their first-name.
— Tod­dlers will learn and play with more dif­fi­cult words, depend­ing of their vocab­u­lary.

This appli­ca­tion is also a good way to help your kid to become famil­iar with your iphone and it is a good fam­i­ly game.

This is a great game for kids who get bored in the car, in the air­plane, at the restau­rant, or any­where.

Kids between the ages 2 to 6 love to play with let­ters, words and their spellings.
Fun and edu­ca­tion­al ! Learn while hav­ing fun, it’s easy!

We have devel­oped a hand­ful of appli­ca­tions for kids and main­ly focus­ing on edu­ca­tion cat­e­go­ry.

Math Mag­ic: Kids can learn as well as have fun with math. They can prac­tice addi­tion, sub­trac­tion, mul­ti­pli­ca­tion and divi­sions. Ran­dom prob­lems will be shown to the kids and they need to choose the cor­rect answer

Word Mag­ic: Kids need to choose the miss­ing let­ters for the pic­ture shown. Best suit­ed for kids from UKG till 2nd stan­dard.

Math Series: Kids need to iden­ti­fy the miss­ing num­bers. The num­bers could either be in descend­ing or in ascend­ing orders

Match Mag­ic: This appli­ca­tion is best suit­ed for younger kids < 6 years. They need to match the pictures/colors/count the num­bers by iden­ti­fy­ing and match­ing them

Count Mag­ic: This appli­ca­tion is also suit­ed for kids < 6 years. This app helps to kids to learn count­ing. They need to catch the num­ber shown. As they keep count­ing, audio voice will help the kids in count­ing.

A very cute app that my kids love to play is ABC Tutor.

The car­toon char­ac­ter Con­nor has such a cute voice.

Ide­al for pre-school chil­dren learn­ing their ABC’s.

Mari­a’s Span­ish Class is eas­i­ly the best app for learn­ing that I have found. Here is the app store link:

or go to http://www.pigobo.com

Sor­ry, My last sub­mis­sion was not about our free app. This is the write up for our free game.

ABC Shake­down: A Read­ing Readi­ness Pro­gram for ages 2 – 6

For less than the cost of a Hap­py Meal……

You can get an edu­ca­tion­al app that is enter­tain­ing and tru­ly edu­ca­tion­al! ABC Shake­down is the first in a new series of edu­ca­tion­al apps brought to you by i‑Itch Inc. This intro­duc­tion game teach­es the sound-sym­bol cor­re­spon­dence of each let­ter of the alpha­bet in a 21st cen­tu­ry way. A dai­ly vis­it will have your child on the road to read­ing in no time.

Let­ters are viewed in large for­mat with user-friend­ly prompts to shake your way from A to Z. Your child will be get­ting their first expe­ri­ence in read­ing readi­ness right from your iPhone!

What real­ly sets this app apart from the oth­ers, is that it was cre­at­ed by two teach­ers and all the sounds are enun­ci­at­ed, artic­u­lat­ed and prop­er­ly spo­ken with guid­ance from a speech pathol­o­gist. Also per­fect for the reluc­tant, chal­lenged, or strug­gling read­er, and proven suc­cess­ful with the spe­cial needs pop­u­la­tion and ESL learn­ers.

Ted Geisel wrote his Dr. Seuss books to help edu­cate ele­men­tary stu­dents. Check out his iPhone apps at: http://www.oceanhousemedia.com/drseuss

Hi,

I thought it would be a good idea to have an appli­ca­tion to help stu­dents keep track of their home­work and marks / grades. So I cre­at­ed an appli­ca­tion to that effect. It is called Agen­da+. I am hop­ing it will be help­ful to some peo­ple. The mark­ing is con­fig­urable to sup­port most of the sys­tems used around the world.

Cheers, Philippe

You may like to look at the app Plan­et Laws — Know Your Solar Sys­tem, at the fol­low­ing link:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/planet-laws-know-your-solar/id418516576?mt=8&ls=1

Unlike some oth­er apps that do spec­tac­u­lar visu­al effects or show you the posi­tions of the stars and plan­ets, this one focus­es on teach­ing you the con­cepts under­ly­ing the physics of the motion of the plan­ets around the Sun. It is a valu­able com­pan­ion for a high school or col­lege stu­dent of sci­ence or physics who has just start­ed learn­ing the physics of plan­e­tary motion. It is also a nice learn­ing tool for peo­ple of any age who are curi­ous about physics.

NUMVADERS:

Num­vaders is a series of time attack chal­lenges that involve basic arith­metic. Play­ers must go through each stage defeat­ing ene­mies by key­ing in the cor­rect sum, dif­fer­ence, prod­uct or quo­tient. The game allows one to brush up on math skills, as the objec­tive is to solve math ques­tions quick­ly, in cor­rect sequence. It gets more dif­fi­cult as the game pro­gress­es, in terms of quan­ti­ty of the ques­tions and the time pres­sure in which they must be answered.
There are 10 worlds that must be unlocked to fin­ish the game. In every world, play­ers will encounter dif­fer­ent Alien Gen­er­als called the Numviens at the end of each stage, whom they must defeat to lev­el up. Boss chal­lenges get more dif­fi­cult as per each lev­el, as ques­tions must be answered imme­di­ate­ly before the Numvien attacks. Life bonus­es, pow­er-ups and shields are avail­able to aid play­ers in becom­ing a Math Gen­er­al.
Num­vaders is also com­pat­i­ble with game net­work­ing, as it allows play­ers to mon­i­tor their per­for­mance through the leader board and the achieve­ment reports through Game Cen­ter or Open Feint. Apart from that, play­ers would also be able to amass good­ies in each Zeenoh game they play. The Z‑Goodies
are col­lectible vir­tu­al goods that aim to boost game play; it helps enhance one’s abil­i­ty to achieve more goals and reach the high­est score. Upon com­plet­ing a game, a play­er will receive spe­cial items or addi­tion­al vir­tu­al cur­ren­cy. The items received are depen­dent to the score made in a par­tic­u­lar stage. Stages can be repeat­ed mul­ti­ple times, thus improv­ing score, giv­ing high­er chances of receiv­ing more Z- Good­ies.
GAME FEATURES:
— 10 Chal­leng­ing Worlds — 10 Space Craft (Z‑Craft) — Learn math while you play with it! — Basic Math Oper­a­tions (MDAS). — Basic MDAS train­ing mas­tery. — Rec­om­mend­ed for all ages. — GAME CENTER (Leader­boards & Achieve­ments) — Open Feint (Leader­boards & Achieve­ments)
COMPATIBILITY:
— iPod Touch 4, iPhone 3G, 3Gs, 4 and iPad. — iOS 3.2 and above.

Hel­lo,

Thanks for the list. It looks great.
We have just released a fun way in a game to learn 3 motion laws by Sir Isaac New­ton. Basi­cal­ly the game mis­sion is about sav­ing Sir Isaac New­ton from the falling apples, leaves and ene­mies. We must pro­tect New­ton to remain asleep dur­ing the game. Please check it out and it will be great if you could add our game to the list :)

If you are inter­est­ed in an excel­lent Math­e­mat­i­cal Appli­ca­tion, then you need to take a look at “Math KIT +”. Math KIT + includes a math­book, unit con­vert­er, cur­ren­cy con­vert­er, copy­book, graph, cal­cu­la­tor, bina­ry oper­a­tion, base con­vert­er and glos­sary.

My name is Paul Hamil­ton and I have been a teacher for 15 Years and am cur­rent­ly an ICT Coor­di­na­tor at an Inde­pen­dent School in Queens­land, Aus­tralia. I’m pas­sion­ate about ICT’s and work­ing with 21st Cen­tu­ry Learn­ers.

I have just cre­at­ed an app (For­ma­tive Feed­back for Learn­ing) that I am very excit­ed about that I believe will trans­form how stu­dents receive feed­back in a learn­ing con­text in schools. It is now avail­able on The APP store.

Schools are using it in many con­texts, as it is an App that focus­es on learn­ing process not con­tent, there­fore can be used in all cur­ricu­lum areas.

Here is the link if you would like to find out more.

Thanks for your time – I real­ly appre­ci­ate it.

Have a won­der­ful week.

The best edu­ca­tion­al app I’ve come across for learn­ing mate­r­i­al is to use Qui­zlet to cre­ate learn­ing flash­cards and then to down­load them using the free app Flash­cardlet. Not only can I eas­i­ly set­up flash­cards for my stu­dents (using Qui­zlet), but they can also cre­ate their own or com­bine groups of cards using the free app Flash­cardlet.

For younger kids study­ing mul­ti­pli­ca­tion, I’d like to rec­om­mend Times Tables Mas­ter. The app uses gam­ing dynam­ics such as unlock­ing lev­els and earn­ing awards to keep kids prac­tic­ing longer and hav­ing fun learn­ing. $.99 from iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/times-tables-master/id542930510?mt=8
