App Reviews


          CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.A

Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant.

ABCya

·          https://www.abcya.com/

As a former kindergarten teacher, I used the site for games and mobile apps for students in the Reading Center of Technology. The games can be searched by Common Core State Standards as well as Next Generation Science Standards.

 

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.5

Compare and contrast the overall structure (e.g., chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) of events, ideas, concepts, or information in two or more texts.

Kahoot!

·         https://kahoot.com/schools-u/

I use Kahoot to administer quizzes, discussions, or surveys for ELA. It is a game-based classroom response system played by the whole class in real-time. Multiple-choice questions are projected on the screen. Students answer the questions with their smartphone, tablet, or computer. Also, the teacher looks at topics in which the game has activities already created for usage.

 

AL.1. United States Studies: Beginnings to 1877:

Fifth-grade content standards focus on the United States from the prehistoric period to 1877. The emphasis is on the geography and history of the United States from the earliest times through the formation and growth of a nation to the latter part of the nineteenth century.

Icivics

·         https://www.icivics.org/

icivics is a free site founded by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor with an educational portal for learning about civics and a standards-based game and curriculum unit search. During reading centers, I use this site for technology for social studies.

In summary, I favor Kahoot because its standard-based games and assessment assess student learning in a fun way. Also, through Kahoot, students can take ownership of their learning and have fun with learning.
