Appy Hour - Read, Write, Think
Word Mover
Word Mover app is used to supplement classroom instruction, reinforce concepts taught in class, and offer increased student engagement through the use of tablet devices and their associated functionality.
Word Mover allows students to create "found poetry" by choosing from word banks and existing famous works; additionally, users can add new words to create a piece of poetry by moving/manipulating the text.
Trading Cards
Categories included are: Fictional person, Real person, Fictional place, Real place, Object, Event, and Vocabulary word. Each category has specific guiding questions for creating a dynamic, information-rich trading card.
Have students build a collection of cards for characters from their favorite book, landmarks in their favorite city, events from a period in history they find interesting, or vocabulary words by content areas.
Alphabet Organizer
Older children can take the tool a step further, suing the option that allows room for words and notes. It's ideal for studying vocabulary words or organizing thoughts about a topic.
Images can be added into each letter categories, greatly expanding users' ability to make a vibrant alphabet book.
