**Assignment #1 iTunes** I found a video on stopping bullying. It needs a long time to load, I think, because it doesn't play smoothly. When I looked up IEP's none of the items were rated. I found mostly college textbooks that would be used in special education teacher training.

**Assignment #2Applications** **School Apps** **Khan Academy -** is a collection of videos on math subjects. They range from very basic to advanced levels. I can use this for students to review topics they have had in their math classes or to pre-teach what will be coming up for them.

**Word Games for Fun - Futaba** This is the app I shared. It is a word game for 2 -4 students. They sit around the iPad and tap to join the game. A picture comes up in the center. Each child has the same four word choices. The first to tap on the correct word wins a point. Each round is to ten points.

**TED Conferences videos** These videos are sub-titled Ideas Worth Spreading. I can't wait to start looking at these and sharing them with colleagues.

**Chicktionary for iPad** A word game with a chicken coop theme. Players are given a set of letters and the goal is to make as many words as possible in two minutes.

**Adding Apples** I got this because I already have Subtracting Sardines from the same series. I love the graphics.

**Kids iHelp - Analogy 2.0** Good visual analogies for practice. Students will need instruction on how to solve analogies before using this app.


 * ABC Behavior Assessment** This app is a structured place to record student behaviors. It will take some work to get it set up, but should be helpful


 * Easybee Age Calculator** I got this app for the secretaries at my school. Every year they figure the ages of every student that comes for pre-k Roundup. They will be thrilled to be able to enter the dates and get the age!


 * Count Money!** Great money counting practice. This app has pictures of real money. Students are given an amount. They need to choose coins to put on the table to make that amount. They can check themselves and try again if needed.


 * PCard Maker** This is a great tool for communication with parents. You can take a picture, write a message, format the card (background and stickers), and email to parents. I can use this to send home great spelling test scores or notes about passed timed readings with their child's picture.


 * Spell That!** This is a customizable app used to practice spelling words. The teacher enters the spelling list and pronounces each word. Students then practice each word 3 ways - drag the letters in order, type the letters from choices, and type the letters from memory.

Personal Apps **Bark Busters Dog Training** This app has a free behavior quiz. I assume this is about your dog's behavior. It also has a section of Training Tips.

**Dog Whistle Trainer** This app teaches you to use a whistle to train your dog. It also provides the whistle sound. As you can tell, I have a dog that could use some behavior help. I hope these apps will be useful.


 * Nature Sound** You can play these sounds or use them with a timer. They can be used to get to sleep or to wake up. You can also change the background picture.


 * AccuRadio** This app allows you to listen to a customized radio station. You can choose your genre and favorites.


 * Words with Friends** I can continue the games I have going on my Mac when I am not home. Lots of fun.
