I chose Explora for Elementary Schools from the Alabama Virtual Library as my resource. It focuses on helping students find articles. I teach fourth grade, and I discovered that Explora for Elementary is a fantastic resource for conducting research, promoting independent learning, and helping my fourth graders develop critical thinking and information literacy skills. Writing an article review is often a new skill for fourth-graders and this is an excellent resource to help my students begin the process.

App Reviews
The first app that I will be discussing is iReady Math. iReady is used by my school for the math curriculum. We have used it for the past five years. This app is used primarily in our k-5 elementary school, but is also used in the middle school as well. iReady allows students to work at their learning path that is personalized after taking the initial iReady diagnostic test at the beginning of the year. The Diagnostic is taken three times throughout the year to allow their individual learning to be adjusted. Teachers can assign lessons that go along with current lessons. For example, this week my students are learning about 2D and 3D shapes. I am able to assign lessons that align with the geometry unit: MA19.K.20 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, flat“) or three-dimensional (“solid”).“ https://alex.alsde.edu/cos-mth?f%5B0%5D=cos_grades_mth%3A0
New features are being added to iReady such as Fluency Flight (2nd grade and up). Fluency Flight is an interactive way to help students learn their math facts. Facts begin with addition and subtraction and work all the way up to multiplication and division. With the new math literacy act being put into place, there are many schools who have begun piloting iReady math. This leaves me to believe this curriculum may be one that will have to be chosen just like how schools had to choose between the two reading curriculums given. I am not sure of the cost of this app because it is the chosen curriculum from my district. It is compatible with iPads and chromebooks.
https://xtramath.org/#/signin/teacher_other
The next app that I have chosen is Xtramath. This app is designed for students to practice math facts. You can create an account for free and have the basic fluency practice. There are options that you can pay for that include teacher resources or assessments that can be used. My district purchases this for the county each year, but the free version is still amazing. This app can be used for all ages k-12. The first set of fluency practice is addition within ten, so this may be only for kindergarten students who are ready to be challenged since their standard is to be fluent within 5.
MA19.1.6d Demonstrate fluency with addition and subtraction facts with sums or differences to 10 by using the relationship between addition and subtraction. https://alex.alsde.edu/cos-mth?f%5B0%5D=cos_grades_mth%3A1
This app could definitely be used starting in first grade. Xtramath is compatible with iPads and chromebooks. Xtramath allows teachers to keep up with which facts the students are struggling with such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
The last app that I want to discuss is McGraw Hill Open Court. Most schools across Alabama have chosen this curriculum so this app has been purchased by their districts and should be readily available for use on devices such as iPads and chromebooks. McGraw Hill can be used for Pre-K through 12th grade, but is primarily used in the elementary level. This app has many features that help students with phonics, reading comprehension, and language arts. There are games that teachers can assign that allow students to practice phonics skills or grammar skills.
ELA21.K.1c Use age-appropriate irregular plurals in conversation.
https://alex.alsde.edu/cos-ela
These can be used along with the units or assigned as review games. Teachers can also assign the story for the week so that students are able to listen to the story an additional time. This helps accommodate for struggling readers or beginning readers.
Overall, I love all of the apps I have discussed above, but the best to me is iReady. I have used this app longer than the other two, but it has so many resources that teachers are able to use. The learning path for each student is meeting their needs, but teachers are able to adjust the paths if needed so students are not stuck completing tasks that are not right for them. Students can also access iReady online at home. During our few E-learning days throughout the year, we assign lessons that go along with the skill for the week to allow students extra practice. Teachers have a “toolbox” that holds powerpoint slides for each lesson, interactive tutorials, and games for each lesson. This app offers so much for students and teachers.

EIM 505 App Review
iReady App (Math)
https://www.commonsense.org/education/reviews/i-ready
ALEX 2nd Grade Standard: MA19.2.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
iReady is an app that can be used as a supplemental program or it can be used with the iReady program. The app requires students to take a diagnostic when they first log on. This diagnostic is used to assess strengths and weaknesses students may have in math and creates a learning math individualized for that student. The program cost approximately $13.00 per student. The full pricing and quotes can be found at; chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.curriculumassociates.com/-/media/mainsite/files/thinkup/qrf-texas.pdf. This program is intended for students in k-8th grade. This app is compatible with tablets/iPads as well as Chromebooks. The app is available in Clever as well to help students easily access the app. The review site I chose is commonsense.org. I chose this site because they are very reliable with educational reviews. There are a mix of positive and negative reviews but I feel this is an issue that every app has.
Reflex App (Math)
https://www.commonsense.org/education/reviews/reflex
ALEX 2nd Grade Standard: MA19.2.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies such as counting on, making ten, decomposing a number leading to ten, using the relationship between addition and subtraction, and creating equivalent but easier or known sums AND MA19.2.2a State automatically all sums of two one-digit numbers.
Reflex is an app that I currently use in my classroom. The app is meant for students to practice their fact fluency. For my students (2nd grade) they are working on adding one digit numbers with sums within 20. The app assesses students ability and allows students to play games that work on their fluency. Students have to earn their ‘green light’ in order to go to the store. They achieve a green light by completing their facts. This feature helps teachers know that students are not spending their entire time in the store. The app also opens new games for students after 3 days of use. My students are highly motivated to use this app because of the additional games they get to access. Reflex offers educators a chance to apply for a grant to receive a year of Reflex subscriptions at https://web.explorelearning.com/math-grants/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=math_grants_2024&utm_term=reflex%20math&utm_content=search&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6oi4BhD1ARIsAL6pox2hSIU8cSOth8bCA4pCM83RpfUgwFF1s6N0U-3-jFRPx4yEaROYGigaAvKfEALw_wcB. The price of the app varies depending on the use. If the entire school is accessing the app then the price is approximately $3,295, one teacher use is $35 for a one year subscription. Of course you can contact the company and ask for a more specific quote. This program is great for students grades 2nd to 6th grade. It is compatible with tablet/iPads and Chromebooks. The app can also be found on Clever. I chose commonsense.org because of their credibility. Also, most apps have pros and cons and this site seems to give different personal perspectives of the app.
Happy Numbers
https://www.commonsense.org/education/reviews/happy-numbers
ALEX 2nd Grade Standard: MA19.2.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem AND MA19.2.12 Add and subtract within 1000 using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method.
Happy Numbers is another app that I use very frequently in my classroom. This app creates lessons for students to work on based on their ability levels. As they complete lessons they are able to level up. I like this app in my classroom because students can manipulate tools such as rulers, base ten blocks, and numbers lines. I think this is very helpful because students have to use these same tools on ACAP (state testing). This app is focused on k-5th grade students and it is compatible with tablets/iPads, and Chromebooks. The cost of this app is a yearly subscription starting at $2,900 for a school wide purchase or classroom license that starts at $145 for ten students and $14.50 for each additional student within the class. There are options to get additional quotes as well as a custom district quote. Like I addressed with my other app reviews, I feel like commonsense.org is very reliable and gives different views of educators with each app. This app did receive four out of five stars.
I do use and really enjoy all of these apps but I really like iReady math the most. The app offers so much that educators can use for their students. The program is designed to adapt to the students needs and their growth as they complete lessons. There are also features that the teacher can access such as the teacher toolbox, lesson assignments, and data. The teacher can pull data from students' individual lessons as well as from the diagnostic test and create printable parent letters with the student’s data listed. Along with this the teacher can print support or enrichment lessons for students inside the teacher toolbox. All around this app provides a lot of information, instruction, and support for students’ math growth.

App Review- Lauren Brisendine
The standard I chose was part of the Digital Literacy and Computer Science Standards for 7th grade: DLCS18.7.R6 Produce, review, and revise authentic artifacts that include multimedia using appropriate digital tools.
WeVideo is a desktop or mobile device application that can be used for multimedia presentations, videos, podcasts, or audio/visual presentations. The app lets you search built in video/audio content, or upload your own material to publish video creations. Students can work collaboratively on the same project through class mode, and teachers have the ability to add students to a class to monitor progress on assignments, provide feedback, and review/grade projects. The app is free to download, with access to thousands of royalty free media. There are subscription options that allow for more options that range in price from $5.99 a month to $59.99 per month. However, the free option has the capability to do so much. The application is recommended for students in grades 3-12, but could be used in lower grades with assistance. This application is compatible with apple products including iPhone, iPad, and Andriod devices. It also has a desktop version as well. I feel like the commonsense.org review is credible considering so much of the content and standards covered in the Digital Literacy and Computer Science Standards are covered through common sense media, and their evaluation of the pros and cons, their “Learning Rating” and the fact that they give it their “Common Sense for Learning” seal is something that many teachers should look for when using technology effectively in the classroom.
iMovie is an application that comes automatically loaded on Apple products and runs on iOS 17 or later. This is a video creation and editing application that can be used in the classroom, at a place of business, or for home video editors/content creators. Users can turn pictures or videos into “storytelling” movies. This is a free application that is recommended for users ages 4 and up, according to the Apple App Store. It comes preloaded with 20 versions of storyboards that can help you get started, or gives you the ability to start from scratch and be completely creative. This site review provides unbiased feedback of the app, including pros and cons, verified reviews from a wide range of users, and also provides alternatives to this application in case this is not something you have access to.
Stop Motion Studio: https://www.amazon.com/Cateater-Stop-Motion-Studio/dp/B0762R1QY7
The app allows users to create stop motion videos with ease, using built in features, filters, content, and sound effects. This is a great resource that can be used in really any classroom. Students can work through tutorials, adjust frames per second speed, and download or publish their creations to YouTube, Facebook, Dropbox, and more. There is no cost to download and use this app, however they have released a pro version for a one time purchase of $5.99 that allows users to have more capabilities. The app is intended for users in grades 3-12, and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, macOS, Android, Windows, Chromebook, and Amazon Fire devices. This review site provided insight into the bug fixes, updates to features on the app, and review from over 2,000 users.
Out of the three, I think that WeVideo is the best option just due to the wide range of projects that students have the ability to create. Whether you want to create a podcast, a slideshow, collaborative projects, or an animated video, the possibilities are endless. That, paired with the fact that teachers can group students and watch progress through the classroom function, makes this app a valuable tool in the classroom.

App Review Jessica Medley
Educational Apps
Jessica Medley
The standard I choose is ELA21.4.R4 Utilize a writing process to plan, draft, revise, edit, and publish writings in various genres. This standard can be broken down into so many different lessons. Each of the apps I selected would be beneficial for this standard.
Scootpad - Students complete a diagnostic. The app will then give targeted lessons. The next step is they will receive adaptive practice and timed lessons. The app will assess learning and assign more targeted practice with real time scaffolding. This app was developed with a tier 3 intervention monitor. This app is equipped with formative and summative assessments. The concepts mastered are monitored by several options: not attempted, practice, scaffold, intervention needed, mastery check ready, and mastered. This app is $149.00 for the year per teacher and can accommodate 35 students. This is for the k-8 age group. Their information page claims that there are over 2+ million users globally.
https://www.scootpad.com/platform/how-it-works
IXL- Students ages k-12 can complete a diagnostic and receive an action plan with specific skills that need improvement. If a student gives an incorrect answer the app has built in explanations. The teacher can also assign individual skills that are being taught in the classroom. Another option is to do a group jam. This can be done as a small group or whole group. This can be used for reading, math, science or social studies skills. IXL has been awarded several awards including, teach awards of excellence and smart media. This app is compatible on all devices. A one year license for math and language arts for 30 students is $599.00. This would be renewed each year.
Nearpod- Nearpod is an app that is used to teach lessons with slides. It also has questions where the students will respond individually to the whole class or small group. This can be used to teach a whole group lesson or to teach a small group a remedial lesson. Nearpod has been awarded several awards such as, Common Sense Selection, ISTE Seal, and IEDTEACH. The cost per teacher or for up to 75 students is $159.00 per year. This includes 1GB storage, google slide addons, and drag and drop. This is compatible with all devices. Nearpod can teach k-12 students.
All three of the apps I have chosen are creditable and educational. I have used both the nearpod and IXL, however the scootpad is not one I have used. From the three I would use IXL in my classroom. This is one that our district buys for our school and we use it almost every day. I teach science and social studies now, but when I taught reading I used IXL mostly for remediation of skills to help close the learning gap. I like that IXL breaks down each subject by the skill name. It is easy to find the skill and easy for the teacher to assign a certain skill.

Kindergarten students can work on mastering the standard of recognizing and naming upper- and lower-case letters by practicing letter formation, letter videos, and naming upper- and lower-case letters. Commonsense.org is a credible site that informs educators about Starfall and how it can be used in the classroom.
As an educator, I feel that Splash Learn is the best app to use in the classroom. It can be used to cover many standards and content areas; plus it is free for teachers to use in their classrooms. Teachers can import educational tasks for students to complete based on what they are teaching in their classrooms. Students then have to complete these tasks first before being able to play educational games. This allows teachers to know that students are getting extra practice in the content in which they are teaching. I feel that this is a key component in Splash Learn.
