Thanks Tony for sharing this awesome resource!!
Winning Words series of Seven Apps for Kids
Winning Words has seven FREE word games for students to play on their iPads. Created in the Memory card game style makes it easy to learn. For example, in Antonym Match students flip over a card with a word on one side. Then they flip over a second card to find the antonym for the first word they saw. If it doesn't match, the cards flip over and the player begins again. Play alone or up to 4 players.

Halloween themes apps-sort of!!
Glasses give teachers super powers!!
Robert Mawhinney’s math students each sat at their own computers, solving equations. As he looked around the room, he saw some students had smiley faces floating above their heads, some had question marks or exclamation points, and a few had Zzzs. He tapped the air in front of him and up popped a view of a student’s computer screen.
Mawhinney is not an actor in a science fiction movie. He is a teacher at Hopewell Junior High School in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. A pair of augmented-reality glasses offer him those visual cues and the power to conjure up more information with an outstretched hand.
The glasses, called Lumilo, are powered by an app that works with “cognitive tutor” programs, which use artificial intelligence to offer students feedback as they attempt problems, hints when they struggle and an adaptive set of questions based on their performance.
Join Us for an Inspiring Day of Learning
You’ve heard “There’s an App for that!” and there is, but it takes time, effort and money to find that right app. And even then it probably won’t really fit your needs.
So why not just master the apps you already have for your teaching and learning.
Join Ken Tuley for a day of hands-on experience to maximize the power of the built-in apps. Leverage the power and features of the Camera, Notes, iMovie, GarageBand, Clips, Safari, Pages, Keynote and Numbers to enhance and elevate any lesson to new heights. Even skilled iPad users will learn new tricks to maximize these built-in apps and discover features you didn’t even know existed. It will be a game-changing day!

iPad iCamp will be a refreshing day of ideas and activities to help teachers be more productive in their classroom and organized in lesson planning. No more sticky notes stuck here & there. We'll look at teaching and learning with iPads and be reminded of best instructional practices to engage and enhance student learning. We'll finish with reflection ideas on the iPads that will help with planning for the next lesson.
I hope you will join us for this inspiring day of learning
