Best applications in Education




There are numerous education Apps available for those who seek a more modern and simplistic approach to learning, not only for students but also for teachers. Technology is growing immensely in modern society and as technology grows and improves, we too learn to adapt and move along with the growth of technology. We do this to make our lives easier and to utilise our time more efficiently.

Reading Bear, is a project of WatchKnowLearn.org. It is the first free program online to teach beginning readers vocabulary and concepts. This App is used to help the foundation phase students on how to read and pronounce words and letters in the correct way. This App aims to help students learn how to read in a non-stressful way which will encourage them to want to learn as appose to being forced.

Operation Math is another App created to help open and ease the mind of young students in learning mathematics. The youth of today enjoy playing video games and with this App young students will feel as if they are playing a game whilst learning. Operation Math is designed to challenge the mind of the young students. Teachers can utilise this App in terms of a “rewards and incentives strategy”, the more you excel using the App the better in reward. This will encourage students to do their best. Operation Math was created by Spinlight Studio.

The Schoology App was created to allow teachers and students to stay connected 24/7 to their learning management system. Assignments can be allocated when needed, submitted and graded.  Teachers can create messages, task lists, and keep everyone informed. An idyllic tool for organization in today’s modern education environment. This app allows for learning and organisational skills.
