Apps for Mobile Learning

Introduction
Toontastic
It would be great for an English lesson in an elementary classroom as it could be used an engaging alternative to traditional story or essay writing.
Bubble and Pebble Story
This would be a great lesson for a kindergarten class as they learn to read and distinguish colors. It would help improve the children's reading and listening skills.
Martha Speaks Dog Party
This would be great supplementary material for kindergarten to grade 3 classes. It could be available as entertainment for them during their free time, like recess. Or it could also be used as an activity students could do after completing an assignment and waiting for other students to catch up.
Nearpod
With a class set of apple devices (iphones, ipods, ipads) this app could be used in a variety of different lessons to ensure engagement and participation with students.
Motion Math
This again would be great supplementary material to help students gain retention of their fraction solving skills. It could be used as entertainment in free time. It could be provided for students who are finished assigned tasks and waiting for other students to catch up. It could also be a class activity, by giving students 10 minutes at the end of the lesson to practice what they have learnt.
