Make Every
Moment Count
Asking children to monitor the effective use of the abstract concept of time is tricky, to say the least. Time Timer is an iPad app that offers a visual explanation of what efficient use of time looks like. For example, students can observe a red shape slowly disappear as they monitor the progress of cleanup time. They can also evaluate what cleanup procedures are the most effective or check assumptions about how slow a snail truly is. The app has several different graphic representations of clocks and time increments from which to choose. The app is available for $6.99 in the iTunes App Store. Click Here to Access App |

Encounters
Project Noah connects students to real-world learning while promoting environmental stewardship. With this free iPhone app, students can join the forces of other nature lovers around the world and collect photographs of local plants and animals. They can collect photographic evidence on their own or for organized projects, or “missions,” set up by scientists. Each time students take a photograph, they are documenting that particular species. They will need to be able to classify, describe and create search tags for every image they submit. Project Noah can automatically access a mobile device’s location and include that data with each sighting, or students can choose to enter the data manually. Click Here to Access Free App |
