IPad App Review

Google Translate: In a foreign language class, you can use this app to help first year students understand the language better. It allows them to experience the language in a free reign. They can look up single words or whole sentences. The more they include themselves in the language, the easier they will learn it. It also does a varitey of languages, so if you want to do a project on comparing the language studied with other languages you could do so. Say you want to compare a word in Italian and Spanish because they are similar languages; then, you can see the difference and the students will be able to understand.
Hungry Fish: Pre-k or elementary school teachers can use this game to help students with their addition. I would say that middle and high school could use it too, but I don't think they would be interested enough to actually sit down and play with it. It starts out on a screen with a fish in the ocean. Then, out of a piece of sea coral, pops a number. You take that number and put it in the fish's mouth. Then it pops out two numbers. You combine the numbers and put them in the fish's mouth if added together they equal that number. As your difficulty gets greater, the more numbers in bubbles are out there and the bigger the number is on the fish.
