My Weather Book

My Weather Book is a fun educational iOS app that kids can use for word/letter recognition by tracing words and coloring pictures.  This is done in a easy to use interface where parents can select which style (i.e. bold, dotted) of letters can be traced, while the child can select their pictures to be included in their coloring book.  After that by tapping on a picture in the coloring book a user can then access the coloring, brush, drawing/writing tools to interact w/ the picture.  Best of all there is a microphone button that will speak the highlighted word.  This helps w/ word recognition as well as build up a child's vocabulary around the weather.

My Weather Book

My Weather Book is a fun iOS app that students are using for word and letter recognition.  The way this works is by tracing letters and coloring pictures while learning different vocabulary words about the Weather.  As they are learning their words and practicing letters they are selecting pictures and creating their very own coloring book.  Upon coloring their digital book a student can bring up drawing/coloring tools that includes a microphone that speaks the highlighted words.  This helps students w/ word recognition and build up their vocabulary around Weather.

MarcoPolo Weather

MarcoPolo Weather is an excellent new iOS app that I just found out about from a promotional email.  This app allows children to control and interact w/ 9 different types of weather (i.e. sun, rain, snow, etc).  The way this works is by having the user control different atmospheric conditions such as temperature, wind speeds, and much much more.

Here is some more info...

•Control 9 different weather conditions: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rain, thunderstorm, snow, blizzard, tornado, and hurricane.
•Choose from 4 different wind speeds – make a pinwheel spin or even fly a kite!
•Adjust the temperature – see the environment change as you go from hot to cold in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
•Play with 3 mini-games and 55 interactive elements. You can plant flowers and make them bloom, melt an igloo, or have a snowball fight!
•Interact with 3 wacky characters that respond to the weather choices you make: you can dress them in light clothes when it’s hot, give them hot drinks in the cold, or hand them umbrellas when they're wet.
•Add flowers, birds, a snowman or a picnic basket to the scene and see how the different weather types affect them.
