What mobile apps are available for your subject area? List and describe at least 4 apps that could be used on a smartphone, iPod, or iPad in the classroom. There are mobile apps for education sections in each of the subject area chapters in the Roblyer and Doering book.

In fifth grade I teach all subject areas.  There are lots of applications on an ipad that can be used for improving math skills. 

1. Math Fact Master- it is a $0.99 it includes a challenge or flashcards.  It has students practicing all of their math facts; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  Students can use it to gain fluency in their math facts.  This is a great remediation tool. 

2. Spelling Doll: This spelling application is a free app for iphones or ipads.  It designed for 4th and 5th graders.  Students are able to test their spelling and practice their vocabulary. They can choose their own spelling list and then pick words from their own list to practice.  The students can use the screen to type the letters and spell the words that are called out. 

3. States and Capitals: This app is a free app to test the students ability to know the 50 States and their capitals.  This app shows the students a certain state and will show a star over the capital and give the students three options to choose from. It will also show a whole map of the United States and have a certain state highlighted and will give you 3 states to choose from. This is a great way to give students practice learning all of the states and capitals in the United States. 

4. JogNog- This is a free app that is for ipads or iphones.  Students can take quizzes over any subject.  You can pick a subject and an area to focus on and it will quiz you based on your state standards.  The students earn coins, like a game, for each quiz that they take. This is a great way to review content taught in each subject area.
