Kodable is a wonderful iPad app for programming that I found out about from ReadWrite. This is an excellent iPad app for kids ages 5-7 that helps them learn how to program by dragging-n-dropping fuzz balls around levels filled w/ directional arrows. The creator developed it w/ the thought that since age a young age is ideal to learn a language why not the language of programming. Some kids are learning how to program before learning how to read/write.
YodelOh Math Mountain is a fun iOS app for helping students learn and strengthen their Math skills. This game has a mountain climber (think Price is Right) climbing a mountain while solving a bunch of Math equations. These equations focus on basic Math skills such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. As time progress the climber climbs up the mountain while various objects such as sheep, rams, and other objects try to bump the climber up the hill and off the mountain. The goal is to answer as many questions and hit as many targets as possible before the climber reaches the top of the mountain and falls off.

Once this image is selected a student has 30 seconds to record their voice creating the story. What makes this so nice is the ability to see your images on the side while recording your voice to keep track of your story. Once a story is finished it can then be shared online or turned into an ibook.

Hopscotch is another free iPad app for kids to learn programming that I found about from Edshelf. Again this app reminds me a lot of Daisy the Dinosaur and Scratch, where students can program by dragging-and-dropping blocks into order to form commands. Once the sequence of commands is completed a user can watch as characters come to life. A neat feature is once a student becomes more advanced they can program to have their iPad interact w/ the app by tilting or shaking.
Move the Turtle is an excellent iOS app for learning how to program, that I just found out about on Edshelf. This app reminds me a lot of Daisy the Dinosaur using a turtle and graphics to help students learn how to program.

Also, there is a nice feature of being able to see a "solution" to a task if a student gets caught up on a lesson.

As students travel through a house they can interact w/ the background environment while unlocking certain areas by solving equations. While they progress further in the game students can collect gold coins to unlock an interactive gallery of townspeople. What makes this ideal for education is the ability to create multiple user accounts, controlling game settings, and it focuses on addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Best of all a teacher can view all the word lists and even generate a report to see which ones the students got wrong by seeing what they clicked on.
