Apps for Grades 3 and 4

During the next week I will begin working with three elementary teachers in a culturally relevant pedagogy pilot.  To that end, I will co-teach once a week with the teachers (when that makes sense) and have recently procured high quality global multicultural texts and technology (will blog about the books soon and the methods as the school year gets underway).  In this blog post I want to share the apps that will be available to students through iPod touches.

The school was recently made wireless and a tech infusion placed some new laptops and iPads in classrooms.  In addition, the three teachers will also have a cart with 40 iPod touches and a MacBook pro. On each iPod touch, teachers and students will be trying out the following apps.

Please note: Great big thanks go to Royan Lee who told me about Angie Harrison and her dynamite list of apps and Ian Chia for his list of apps on diigo.
