With all of the apps, setting up your participants is really easy. Just add the person's name or use the app as a guest. (Personally, I like being able to add individual students, as the apps collect data for you!)
First up is Everyday Objects. This app includes 48 different picture cards, but you can also add your own pictures, which is AWESOME!
The app encourages users to describe various objects, but that app could just be used for naming objects as well.
The "reveal" part of the app shows small parts of an item at a time.
Each of the apps (including the ones below) keeps data for you. I love that it shows the individual items that were correct, incorrect, and those that students needed assistance with. This helps me know what students need more practice with!
Everyday Objects is only $1.99 and you can find it HERE!
What Can You See? is a fun guessing game that slowly reveals parts of an image, so that students can guess what they see!
This app includes 30 images, but as with the other apps, you can add your own pictures to personalize the activities!
What Can You See? is only $1.99 as well and you can find it HERE!
Basic Sequences includes sixteen 3-part sequences! You can also personalize the app by adding your own sequences as well! Simply drag the steps into the correct spots to put them in the correct order.
When each individual step is in the correct order, it lights up green. In my experience, this is a great part of the app because it helps students to understand where they went wrong and to leave the correct steps in the right places.
Also included in all of these sequencing apps are prediction cards. I LOVE this feature! What a great way to get students thinking about the next logical step in the sequence!
There are also basic "what is happening"? cards which lend themselves well to labeling activies and/or working on grammar skills, including, but not limited to:
- pronouns (subjective, objective, possessive)
- third person singular verbs
- present progressive verbs
- auxiliary verbs
You can find this cool app HERE!
Sequences: 4-Step includes 12 four-step activities and includes the same prediction and "what is happening?" components as the basic sequences app. This app is also only $1.99 and you can find it HERE!
Sequences: 6 & 8-Step includes 48 images, as well as the predicting and "what is happening?" parts of the app. Once again, this app is only $1.99 and you can find it HERE!
What I really like about these apps:
- They're simple, easy to use, and concepts that I address on a daily basis.
- You can customize them, which is awesome for students who need extra practice in certain areas.
- I love that the sequencing apps can also be used for predicting additional steps. (And they can also be used to infer information as well.)
What I'd like to see in an update:
- When describing the everyday objects, I'd love to have picture and/or word cues in order to help students describe the object. For example, "what color is it", "what can you do with it", "where might you find it", etc.
- You have to go through all of the pictures/sequences in order to get data for a student, but I wish there was a way to get data even if you don't use all of the pictures. (You can, however, adjust the amount of cards that you use before starting the activity.)
