Favorite iPad Apps!

This year, our building received iPads! Can I get a woooo hooooo?!?!  The kids were so excited and so were the teachers, especially,  ::insert throat clearing sound here:: the Technology Teacher....ME!  From hearing the first rumblings of the impending delivery of the technology tools, the quest began to find apps that were educational, engaging, and functional. From that search, a few apps rose to the surface as being super duper awesomely fun for the kids....and free!

1) MathBlaster

The kids absolutely loved playing this interactive game. As they maneuver through the various space obstacles, they soon have to defeat the ::drum roll:: mathematical space alien before they can continue through the obstacle course. The free version comes with addition and subtraction with optional upgrades for addition/subtraction mixed, multiplication, division, multiplication/division, fractions, and standard form.

Welcome to Mrs. Lybeck's Learning Lab where technology mixes with learning!

So glad you visited! Throughout the past school year, I had entertained and dabbled with the idea of creating a blog. The craziness of the year soon took over and the blog idea was pushed onto the back burner. With the start of summer vacay, I was determined to begin this blogging journey. So, on July 11th, with Dr. Phil playing in the background, I am making my first post! Excitement and uncertainty combines with sheer, unyielding determination to figure this whole blogging "thing" out! Wish me luck!
