[] This App will be great to use to show pictures and facts from history. We could look at this App 2-3 times a week during Content, to see what happened in history on this day. Math Board Addition + //** [] This App is awesome! You get example problems and then get a chance to use the chalk board to solve if you need to. The free app only gives you addition, but you can upgrade to subtraction, multiplication and division. This would be a great app for small group work in math. BrainPOP! //** [] If you have never used this site before, please check it out. It is so useful. I show the movies to my students before a lesson or after to help them learn in a different way.

[] This is a very easy app to use for all ages. You simply choose which math problems you want to practice (+,-,x, /) and then it gives you a minute to do as many as possible. Then it gives you a score after. This would be great to use as a center or as a bonus grade.

[] This app gives you the option to learn phrases and basic words in Spanish, French, German, and Italian. I will definitely use this app a ton in my classroom because I work in a 75% ELL school. We learn a Spanish Word every day, and then try to use it some time during the day. Once you choose your language, you get to practice the words and phrases and then take quizzes and do puzzles to help you learn the words.
