Easter Apps and More

Easter Bunny My Face (Free) Do this with all your students and put on a bulletin board with a clever saying like "We are hopping for books". Let me know other ideas for this app..comment below.
Easter Twinnoo (Free) You will be doing two things at once, on the left side you will be solving simple math equations and on the right you will be looking at two eggs and tapping on the egg that shows the correct color if the eggs were combined. This game uses both of your hemispheres in your brain. This is harder than it looks.

Move the Turtle ($2.99) Haven't played this app, but it looks like a it would be a way to teach students about programming...might be a Gifted and Talented app!


Simple Physics ($.99) Every middle school teacher should get this app for their students.  


Exploriments: Simple Electrical Circuits ($.99) This app shows how simple circuits work, allows the user to open and close switches. In my opinion, this app should not replace the hands-on activities using wires, batteries, and lights, but I could see the teacher projecting this app on the Activboard or SMARTboard and working through some of the activities with students as a whole group before they worked on the hands-on activity. The following link will bring you to the Experiments webpage with the other apps that they have created...worth checking out.

Tap the Frog (Free) Strategy game with lots of levels and activities.
Lakota Toddler (Free) Teaches Lakota language
Ojibway (Free) Learn to speak the Ojibway language
