-
Had inset today so feel bluerghh about everything that needs to be achieved this term
-
Going to compile a list of our favourite apps- for child and adult use- so come folks, join the chat
-
I was looking for apps that are good for ASD. Have a new boy starting this week, could be challenging
-
we had Inservice too but not the same as we're private so we were just very quiet and got lots of jobs done
-
-
Beebots is free, good for thinking about programming
-
Sounds lovely, I had the pleasure of looking at sample KS1 tests & quietly screaming
-
Pic Collage is great for putting a montage of photos together
-
Group of EY educators get together every Monday-chat/ share ideas. 2 chats Europe time and NY time
-
Hairy Letters and Little Digits are popular with mine
-
Come and join in we're a friendly bunch. Each week has a theme/topic- see website for chat calendar :)
-
Oh no- you can do it- we'll share positive vibes and thoughts - Let's start with your fave apps
-
Bugs and Buttons, Superstretch (yoga), PaintSparkle & the CBebbies one. All favs in my class.
-
Beebots is fab and I love the different levels of difficulty- also supports use of the Beebot I ifnd
-
sorry Sarah I was sidetracked there but Nicola has explained it very well! 😄

Of course I need to include Tapestry app
-
Well has so far listed all my favourite apps not used Bugs and Buttons- tell us more...
-
Just found TwinklPhonics on my iPad, haven't used that for a while, must do it again
-
Different levels, level 1 is sorting buttons into boxes, can be quite fast based. Great hand/eye, visual elements
-
A year or so ago a young man that used to be one here shared a load of apps, I went made getting them all
-
Hey Hey! I made it home and I have water! Sorry to be late! Hi everyone! :)

Counting Caterpillar is another good one, 1-100, count in 2,5,10 and random counting.
-
What is ASD? Or am I just forgetting everything I know!?! :)
-
We have done this before but not for a while and thought it might be a good update :) Going to list them all after

I must admit I've been off the tech edge of things lately!
-
Hello, Hello Happy New Year :) hope you had a good break?

-
Not even heard of them- wonder if anyone else has?
-
ooo, I forgot Daisy Dinosuar. She's great for algorithms but probably too hard for EYFS
-
-
Thought I might compile an updated one for us of new ones?
-
-
-
Nice! That would be great! Going over links and so many have moved. Impossible to keep up, check them all
-
Guilty secret, I like to play Hay Day...

-
RT Few more on blog page I love My Story maker it's fab
-
What about App's to make our teaching lives easier? I like Evernote, Pic Collage, Vimeo and Aurasma
-
OH YES! Will be so funny, let's do it- errr actually would I want to tweet mine?
-
I still need to do the Pic Collage! So good, easy for writing- seem to never get to it!!
-
That's why we need to have a strategy- some way to share wo making it personal... cc
-
YES, YES, YES!!!! LOVE IT- The guilty secrets of teachers party- awesome
-
maybe we all make fake accounts or something??
-
Oh no, I had enough trouble setting this one up & changing photos, still got my xmas jumper on
-
that could work-create fake account but then people would need to make extra email. I have 5 so ok by me-?
-
Did you share a creative app during one of previous chats? or did I dream that? You always share fab stuff
-
haaaa true! Ok so need to make it easier- I will think on this!!! Maybe a second location or a gdoc
-
Have you ever done a skype chat?
-
changed the format so its harder to change photo etc though seems easier, but harder to find!
-
I'm not sure I don't think so. But thanks for compliment! 😀
-
Yes! We've skyped just Nic and I but not w more than 2 or 3 others!
-
I think it will be funny to share- surely they can't be that bad? ha ha will tell you now mine is WINE
-
ok still think we should do campfire chat again I loved it!
-
Now am very excited to figure out how to do this secret chat!! I think it would be great to get them all off and in the air!
-
RT ok still think we should do campfire chat again I loved it!
