I really liked the edutopia article it was very informative and offered a lot of information about a technology enhanced classroom. I really liked the section for tips with getting started. It suggested that we survey our students to see what types of technology they have, and are familiar with using. In my class we only really have access to using Ipads so that is what I deal mostly with. I also liked how the article did go through and describe several different types of technology that would be useful in the classroom. I looked at the apps for Elementary students and the descriptions looked good, however they were all paid apps.
I did download an app called First Grade Learning Games. I really like this app because it has a variety of different games that are all centered around First graders. It has a combination of both reading and math games for students to play. Games about compound words and contractions or for math patterns and adding and subtracting. This is an app that I could definitely use with my students and they would be very engaged. I could have all students on the same app, while at the same time targeting specific skills with certain students to reach them where they are in their learning!
