Android+Resources

Below are a few great resources for educators who are using Android tablets in their classrooms. If your campus/district is using the CurriculumLoft CLOUD as part of your 1:1 adoption, please login to your CLOUD in order to access an extensive list of resources. They're located in the department titled CurriculumLoft Resources in the course titled App & Digital Resources. Please contact Erica Stietenroth if you need assistance.

We also encourage teachers who use the KUNO in their classroom to join our KUNO Club Google Group - we're always sharing usage ideas, app resources, etc. - it's a great way to connect and share with other KUNO users across the country!

Android 4 Schools is a new site from Richard Byrne, author of Free Technology for Teachers. In this site, Richard and his guest authors will be sharing resources and reviews of apps (mostly free) that can be used in K-12 schools, along with ways that those apps can be used in the educational setting by teachers, students, and administrators. The site is off to a great start with quite a few apps reviewed already. The site will also have information about Android tablets for K-12, books about Android, and tutorials. If you use Android as an educator, administrator, or student, or your school is looking at using them, you should check out this site.

Barron’s Educational Apps offers seven free Android apps for practicing mathematics, science, grammar, and spelling skills. These apps are designed to correspond to Barron’s series of Painless books like Painless Pre-Algebra. While Barron’s would love for you to buy their books, you can use these apps without buying the books. I tried two of Barron’s Educational Android apps; Painless Grammar and Painless Pre-Algebra. Both of the apps offer three games and three quizzes. In order to access the games students have to score 80% or better on the practice quiz. The other apps available from Barron’s cover Algebra, Earth Science, Chemistry, Spanish, and Spelling. According to Barron’s these apps are intended for middle school and high school students.
