 *  10 Educational and 5 Personal Applications ||
 * App Name || Price |||| Description and Link ||
 * 1. Google Earth || Free |||| Fly to all aspects of the world with the swipe of your finger. Take students to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a tour around the Sphinx. I have used this application to take students to different places of the world that we come accross in different books, lessons, or people that we meet through various activities in school.
 * 2. Planets || Free |||| This app is a 3D guide to the solar system. Use it to identify anything in the night sky. I would use this to teach my students more about the universe than just the 8 planet that they hear about year after year. This app would help to make a unit about space more real and relavant.
 * 3. Vocab Daily || Free |||| I have always wanted to start a word of the day. However, I always found myself not having enough time to determine which word to use. With this app, I will just take their suggestion. As a class we will talk about the word, what it means, and try to use it in daily conversation. I feel students need help making interesting word choices and I feel this may help.[] ||
 * 4. Math Bingo || $.99 |||| This interactive bingo game allows students to play bingo against the computer while learning their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.[] ||
 * 5. Stack the States || $.99 |||| This site helps students learn more about the states: where they are located, appreviations, nicknames, capitals, etc. I have found that some students struggle with US geography and this app may be just what they need to put a little perspecitve on the United States.[] ||
 * 6. Math Magic || $.99 |||| This easy to use math app features simple math problems that provides either multiple choice or fill in the blank to provide a variety of difficulty levels.[] ||
 * 7. Word Magic || $.99 || This app is designed to help with beginning spelling, phonics, and reading words. It provides a 3-6 letter word with letters missing. Setting can be altered to control various aspects like levels, word length, sounds, rewards, challenge time, missing letters, and word starters. I would use this app with students that struggle to hear sounds in words. Having this visual may begin to help students hear and see the words while spelling them.[] ||  ||
 * 8. Mad Libs || Free || This app gives an interactive twist on the traditional mad libs of the past. Students create silly stories while learning to use different parts of speech. I would use this in conjunction with a grammar unit.
 * 9.Brain Teaser of the Day || $.99 || This app provides a thought provoking brain teaser daily. I think it would be interesting for students to get their day started with a good problem to solve.
 * 10. Spel it Rite || free || This app helps train the brain to recognize mispelled words. This would be a fun and interactive way for students to determine mispelled words. In the age of spell check, spelling is becoming harder and harder for students. However, it is an important skill that should be learned by all. This app may help provide the engagement they need to get interested.
 * 5 Personal Apps ||
 * 1. ABC television || Free || I am in the market to get away from my cable TV provider. Many of the shows I like to watch are on the ABC network. This app allows me to watch full length videos of my favorite shows.[] ||  ||
 * 2. Web MD || Free || This app provides and abundance of medical information. There is a symtoms finder on it that helps the patient pin point what is wrong with them. It doesn't make diagnosis, but it allows patients to be more informed when seeing their physician. It also has a local physician finder for when an emergency strikes and you are away from home.[] ||  ||
 * 3.The Photo Cook Book || $4.99 || I have never claimed to be an amazing chef, however with this photo cook book app I may have a better chance. I am a visual learner and by seeing what I am using, how much, and what the out come should look like I may have a better chance. It is like having your own personal cooking class in your house since trained chefs are leading you through step by step instructions.
 * 4. Lose it! || Free || This app helps people track their food in take and exercise for the day.
