iPad Apps - Module 4 / Assignment 3

FaceTime was already on my iPad.  As far as I can tell, this is a way to do video calling.  I am unfamiliar with the app, and I'm looking forward to learning more about how to use it.

The Dragon Dictation app converts the spoken word into text.  I have found the you have to speak very clearly in order for the correct words to be represented in the text.  I enjoyed experimented with this app.  The app allows the user to correct the text once recording has stopped.  You can also add to the note.  The note can be emailed, copied, cut, or sent to Twitter and/or Facebook.  The numerous features of this app make it a winner.

ScreenChomp is a great app for producing demonstration segments to introduce concepts or review concepts with students.  The segments are easy to create.  Since the segments can be emailed, sent to Twitter, or copied, students would have many sources for accessing them.  There are so many potential uses for helping students with a variety of subjects.  I was able to create a simple addition demonstration.  I look forward to exploring this site more. 

I found a musical app to download.  I feel incorporating music into the school day and into the home of children creates a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.  Happy Baby has 35 free songs with catchy tunes for toddlers and preschoolers to enjoy.  The words at the bottom of the screen support literacy development.
