Toonia Storymaker- Unlock Your Child's Creativity - App Review

There are stories within every child, even if those stories are as simple as “I broke my toy and I cried” or as complex as “The unicorn was running with the princess in the forest, and then the birds came, and they all played for a while.” Children’s narratives help them talk about the world around them and stretch their imaginations. Toonia Storymaker turns these narratives into mini-books that can be saved and shared. At Fun Educational Apps, we applaud developers who show us new ways to use technology to unlock a child’s creativity, so we award our latest Top Pick to Toonia Storymaker.

My Dear Aunt Sally- A Comprehensive Math App Developed by a Math Professor

Don’t be fooled by the name My Dear Aunt Sally.  This app has nothing at all to do with any female relatives.   If you are unfamiliar with the statement, “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally,” your fifth or sixth grader may be able to fill you in. The acronym P.E.M.D.A.S. stands for the order that mathematical operations are completed in a number sentence, and the statement about Aunt Sally is the mnemonic device used to help students remember the order.  Because it has such a wide range of topics in the 2nd through 8th grade curriculum strands, My Dear Aunt Sally can be considered a remedial app, an enrichment app, a refresher app, or a tutorial app, depending on how you want to use it.

Teach Me: Toddler- An All-in-One Readiness App

Recently, I was speaking with the parent of a child who will be entering kindergarten next fall.  She was concerned that, perhaps,her son would not be ready for the academic challenges he would face.  I identified six concept areas that we assess in our district-wide kindergarten screening program: letter identification (upper and lower case), phonics, rote counting, shape recognition, colors, and number sets.  TeachMe: Toddler is an all-in-one readiness app that covers all six of these important conceptual skills.  Its easy-to-use format and its ability to collect data to show a child’s growth make it a great value and a Top Pick for us at Fun Educational Apps.
