Day 2 Apple Summer Learning Institute - Math Apps on the iPod Touch - Awesome
In the current session I am in we are exploring Math apps for the iPod Touch. As a former math teacher I am very impressed. We used 9 Gaps, Math Pad 4, Multiplication, Number Line, and Factoring.
In the Multiplication App it allows you to randomly play against someone else (anonymously). That was fun.
The factoring app was also very good. Great for high school algebra 1 & 2 courses.
This session only confirms my thinking that the iPod Touch is a very compelling for schools. The cost factor is so low compared to a computer. The device is cheaper and the apps are free or less than a dollar.
