iPad Review

My friend let me use her iPad for this assignment. I downloaded two apps one of them was called Nova and the other was Toca Kitchen Monsters. The Nova app dealt with science material. One could use this app to familiarize themselves with the periodic table of elements. I played an interactive game on this app that made learning about the periodic table fun. The Toca Kitchen Monsters was my favorite. I ended up playing it for quite a while. This app is an interactive game where people can make their own food and serve it to monsters. These apps would be perfect for my future classroom because they are educational and fun! Science is sometimes considered a hard subject and students don't want to learn about it, but using an iPad and playing an interactive game involving the periodic table could make them want to learn. They won't just be listening to me talk or even showing them a chart. They will actually have an interactive experience with it. The Toca Kitchen app is a great game to display following directions and expressing oneself. The students become the creators of their own resturaunt, but they must follow directions to make the food correctly. This would be a fun activity to play maybe once a week just to test the kids listening and following directions skills.
