iphone/ipad apps which are good for learning? Recommendations please...

[missworld2010]

Twas mentioned last night, some of you have good ideas for apps, and I'd really love to hear them please!

Had to laugh inwardly yesterday as DD2 was sent home with her first school nursery library book. Zigby, not bad you might think, however Zigby is most definitely NOT Dora. So no point in that then. She won't even let me show her the front cover or touch the book without screaming no!! They can change it every week as they plan to but I'd be willing to bet money it will be a long time before they find one she'll be interested in, or even let me read the title of. Control issues? just slightly....

Think the ipad is one of the few ways our girl will learn... although I'll have to disable youtube first. She's found the Japanese Pocoyos already.... HELP!!

My son loves talking gremlin!! lol

thanks... any others?!

Hi Miss World,

Where do you live? There is a workshop in February (not quite sure where) that shows parents and professionals all the different learning apps for an ipad for children with special needs. I think it is free.

I will find out more details

I'm in Herts. sounds v interesting, more details please!!!

This website is useful: momswithapps.com/
They also have a facebook page, often featuring freebies and special offers

Flo Longhorn has just produced a booklet of good apps for the IPad for children with all sorts of different special needs.

she has a web site where you can contact her directly, The one she hasn't got on the list is The Wheels on the bus though!!

Phlebas, did you download them and if so how and where from? We just got an ipad, have not opened the box yet, so this thread is very useful.

Thanks Phelbas - I think I am going to be hitting the App store soon ! That is a fantastic list
