Title: Bookworm
Publisher: PopCap Software
Available For: iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone
Cost: $2.99
Review: Do your students struggle with creating words? Bookworm is an exciting game that allows students to create words. Letters drop from the top of the screen and pile up. Students are then able to create words by dragging their fingers over the letters. Letters have to be connected to form words. Watch out though! Fire letters appear and if you don't use them, they will eventually end your game. How many points can you score? This game is addictive. My own classroom has a challenge board to see who can score the most points.

The most points wins. This is a highly visual and engaging way to learn subtraction. This app is also available in the addition version which costs the same price.

Review: iResponse is another classroom responder system. Unlike other classroom responder systems, iResponse works in conjunction with your own laptop. Using the wireless network in your school, iResponse allows teachers to create quizzes on the computer and "push" questions to their students immediately. I also like the fact that teachers can create questions on the fly and push them to their students. iResponse works seamlessly and the students love taking quizzes. I have used this app many times to do quick comprehension checks during the teaching of the lesson. This is wonderful for students who are afraid of answering out loud for fear of being wrong. No one knows if a student got the answer correct except the teacher and the individual student. NOTE: the teacher laptop also needs to download the free iResponse software from their website.

Title: Nike+ GPS
Publisher: Nike
Available For: iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone
Cost: $1.99
Review: The Nike+ GPS app is a great app that tracks running and walking miles. The Nike+ GPS app is designed for iPhones. The Nike+ app comes with all iPods standard and costs nothing. If you use the Nike+ app that is free, you will need a receiver to get the app to work ($20). I have used the app in school as a reward for good behavior. Students who were well behaved were allowed to take the receiver and iPod outside at recess to see how far they could run. Before I knew it, there was a class competition for running miles. When runs/walks are uploaded to the NIke+ website, data of all runs and calories burned is shown. This is a great data analysis activity. Students will never look at data analysis the same way again. I highly recommend getting this app. This is truly an engaging way to put a real-life spin on math.

Title: Numbers League
Publisher: Bent Castle Software
Available For: iPad
Cost: $3.99
Review: Numbers League is a very interesting and engaging app for the iPad. This game practices math facts and operations using super heroes. Each player gets a chance to make super hero. Each part of the hero (head, torso, legs) has a different value. When the hero's body is completed, students find the value of the hero and using the total, try to eliminate villains who are worth certain values. For example: If your hero adds up to 10, you can get rid of the villain who is worth 10. The game gets harder as more heroes join your team. Multiple heroes can be added to get rid of larger villains. The highest level involves addition, negative numbers and multiplication. We use this game with the iPad connected to our data projector. Students love seeing the game on the big screen. They work as teams to win. Amazing!!!
