There is a free version to try out, but we like the paid version even better]]> 2017-04-20 09:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167212433 danaalhosanih55 https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167212722 The app teaches a variety of skills, including literacy, math and thinking skills. One of my favorite features of this app is the way that they provide follow-up off screen activities to go with the on-screen game that is a part of the app. ]]> 2017-04-20 09:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167212722 danaalhosanih55 https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167212922 Children complete activities to earn stars.

The children earn (digital) toys as they complete each task.]]> 2017-04-20 09:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167213208 danaalhosanih55 https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167213484 I like that in the “count” area of the game, they ask children to count objects and then teach the numeral (1) as well as the written number (one). (Small pet peeve: I think the way they ask children to write the lower case ‘e’ is off, but since this is a math app, I won’t hold it against them. ]]> 2017-04-20 09:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/danaalhosanih55/kq3gb6cyga2q/wish/167213484
