1. Leslie Hanzelka 2. Grade level - high school 3. App - HD Gas Laws Lite 4. Where I found it - AP Chem listserv 5. How did I apply it - The app is a virtual gas chamber in which students can change conditions of a gas and chart how other conditions respond. I have students record how pressure responds to changes in volume and how volume responds to changes in temperature, and then graph the data using the data analysis app.

1. Name- Kristan Hunter 2. Grade Level-1st Grade 3. Name of App-Little Speller 4. Where did you find it?-This blog was found through www.digitalkindergarten.com 5. How did you apply it in your classroom? I used this app to help reinforce High Frequency words with students who were struggling with these words. This app allows the opportunity to add words with the option of recording the word so they hear the word. Just another great way to have fun practicing sight words!

 * 4. Searched app store: education: coin identification**
 * 5. I used this app as a Learning Center. Most students can use it independently. It has various levels of each activity. Activities include matching/identifying coins, values, counting coins, shopping and making change. One thing I don't like is that I can't track each student. Also, the coins include half-dollars and dollars which are confusing to some K students.**

Traci Zahradnek Middle School Special Education Name of App: Everyday Math, Beat the Computer I heard about this app from another teacher who teaches Everyday Math. I use this app from with students who need basic math review. Kids like it and have fun playing the game.

 * 3) Injini Lite
 * 4) Wellman Elementary CEC
 * 5) I have used this app with my kids with special needs. It works on fine motor and cognitive processing things such as patterns, puzzles and matching. I only have one iPad so it’s great to use as an alternative activity when my lesson is not appropriate for those with special needs. I would like to purchase the app so that the other features can be utilized and then allow all of my students a chance to work on it either during small groups or when they are finished early.

Traci Zahradnek Middle School Special Edcuation Name of App: iMovie I heard about this app from another teacher at the Middle School. I used this app for a student during the science fair. He wrote up the procedure for his experiment and then created a video of how to make his catapult that was part of his experiment.

1. Melissa O'Rourke 2. Preschool 3. Candy Counting 4. App Store 5. This app can be used at small groups or at center time. It focuses on several math concepts, sorting, colors, more and less and counting. Children can play one time through and then let others have a turn. This also can help with some basic assessing of math concepts.

1. Becca Droll 2. 1st grade 3. Little Speller Sight Words 4. This app was found on the momswithapps blog. 5. This app was used for additional practice with high frequency words. We were able to align the sight words with our reading curriculum's word list. This app was used by students before school during the morning work time. This could also be used during reading centers.

1. Marc Pennington 2. High School Learning Strategies 3. Name of App(s): My Math App, ArithmeTick, Word Monster 4. I found these apps while searching on the app store on the IPAD. They were all free. 5. I used the 2 Math apps with a new student that moved in that didn't know basic Math facts. It times the quizzes and students try to improve their quickness and comprehension. The Word Monster is similar to the game Boggle in which it works on student spelling. The Free app had words that were too hard for my kids, but if you purchase- there are numerous examples available. Kids used this after they were done with seat work to assist with basic spelling skills.

 * 2. 4th Grade Social Studies **
 * 3. Name of App - ShowMe, Talking Tom **
 * 4. Where you found it or how you searched – Erin Kirchhoff, Fine Arts Curriculum Committee meeting **
 * 5. How did you apply it in your classroom? What worked? What would you do differently next time? Working with Beth Swantz, I will have the students each research a different state to correspond with our social studies curriculum. They will be asked to find information as if they are a tourist guide and want people to know interesting and important facts. After they decide what facts they want to include, they will find images to match. Beth will teach us how to import those images into ShowMe which the students can then present to others. If it is possible to import sound, I may have the students use a talking app such as Talking Tom to explain. **

 * 3. Name of App - Angry Birds**
 * 4. Where you found it or how you searched - I found a blog by a Language and Speech teacher and she used the app to inspire her students to write.**
 * 5. How did you apply it in your classroom? What worked? What would you do differently next time?**
 * I used this app to talk about the bird's and pig's characteristics in order to encourage my students to use quality adjectives in writing sentences or a paragraph about the birds and pigs behavior or appearance. This was a good way to use one ipad in a classroom. It worked because the game "Angry Birds" really hooked the kids and got them to write. Next year I will try to extend the activity into another writing project**

3.App: Math Graph This app allowed students to move a graph aimbed immediately see the affects on the equation. This worked well with my advanced algebra students when learning to translate quadratics. I found this by searching in the app store. We attached a small white cord that connected our iPad to our smartboard. We were then able to have students "manually" do their math probes on the board with the assistance of the teacher who actually did the operation of the board.
