iPad (u3039595) Educational games There are many game applications that can be downloaded and placed on an iPad. I found a few games that may assist children to improve upon their skills in all different areas. The first one that I came across was a game that focused solely on letters and the spelling of 3 letter words. The game provides the children with the required letters all mixed up and a picture of what they are trying to spell. Once the child has spelt the word the game would tell the child the word they have just spelt and then name each of the letters. This game encourages children to build on their phonic knowledge and their spelling skills. The second game that I found focuses on Sign Language Alphabet and it is designed for children to learn how to sign all the 26 letters of the alphabet. This game provides children with writing along with pictures to help them understand what actions they need to do with their hands to accomplish these letters. If teachers have access to iPads in class they could be introduced and used by the children in the class. These resources could help teachers to educate the children whilst at the same time building their technology skills. Resource iTunes: []
