Open Culture: The Top Educational iPhone Apps

  • Jason Hando · 9 months ago
    Education apps don't have to be purposely "education-based". Take, for instance, EverNote. This app surely would be an awesome quick note tool for any student (or teacher). Has a desktop and online version as well which makes for nice integration.

    As educators we need to use any tool that works in nicely with our workflow.

    That's a valid point Jason. EverNote is certainly a great app. I mainly focused on the Education category for the sake of narrowing down the possible choices. It was tough enough picking only a few to mention there, can't imagine how tough it would be with the whole App Store to consider. Also, apps like EverNote seem to get plenty of coverage elsewhere.

    Hello,


    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/...

    I am the mom of a 4 years old little girl and I have an iphone ! I found out that in the appstore there were not enough good educational games for kids to developp their abilities and intelligence . So I decided to develop an application which will help and also give some fun for kids to play, to learn and write their alphabet and words.

    This app "Write my name" is dedicated to all the parents who love to teach their child how to write their name or any words.
    "Write my name" can help teach your kids to spell !

    "Write my name" is an educational game which helps your children recognize the letters of their name and how to place them in order.

    This game is very simple, you will like this easy app :
    - You or your child enter your child's name (or another word).
    - Letters appear on the screen randomly.
    - The kids have to place them in the correct order.

    You can also play with any words.
    This game will also help your kid to recognize words, boost his visual memory and constitute a pre-learning to reading skill.

    Summer is here ! Make sure the kids get ready for the next school year :
    "Write your name" helps toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergardens learn some basic words :
    - Preschoolers, and kindergartners will learn to write and play with their first-name.
    - Toddlers will learn and play with more difficult words, depending of their vocabulary.

    This application is also a good way to help your kid to become familiar with your iphone and it is a good family game.

    This is a great game for kids who get bored in the car, in the airplane, at the restaurant, or anywhere.

    Kids between the ages 2 to 6 love to play with letters, words and their spellings.
    Fun and educational ! Learn while having fun, it's easy!

    You should check out Stacks. It was just recently added to the iTunes App Store and is an awesome educational yet fun app.

    Essentially it is professionally created flash cards that cover everything including math facts, geography, vocabulary words, trivia, quotes, and even some fun ones too!

    Audio books on the iPhone are excellent entertainment! The Toy Lounge - http://TheToyLounge.com/ebooks - makes ebook and audio book apps for the iPhone. Now authors can bypass publisher headaches and publish their work directly to the iPhone and get paid.

    I wrote an iPhone game to help teach addition that is similar to a solitaire bingo. You can see a sample sequence at http://bungouroca.com/Bungo_Uroca/Tutorial.html or download on the App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/...
