Online+&+iPad+Apps+Project

__**Group Project - Reviewing and Recommending Online Tools and Apps for iPads **__ Good site for apps - http://ipadforlearners.wikispaces.com/APPS

For this project, you will be reviewing and preparing to teach online tools and apps to our 5th grade students at Curtis Strange to practice their language arts skills. See the KUSD Essential Benchmarks at [] We will focus on language arts skills such as prefixes and suffixes, parts of speech, grammar rules, descriptive words, vocabulary development, synonyms, homophones, and spelling "tricky" words.

You will be completing the App Assignment in small groups of 4-5 students - you may select your own groups.

Your task as a group is to review 4-5 (one per member) FREE Online Games and activities and/or Apps that can be used with your 5th grade students at Curtis Strange. These apps may be downloaded or online tools that can be used on the iPads with our students. One of the apps you MUST review is //**Bluster**// found at [] The other 3-4 apps or online tools are your team's choice. I've given you some sites to visit on the Feb. 28 Assignment page.

Each team member must each select a different tool - either a FREE online game or activity or a App you can download - so you will have to share and coordinate with your team mates.

1. You will complete two reviews of YOUR Online Game, Activity or App - using two tools to share with your team mates > Substitute the KUSD standards for the Sunshine state standards!
