See. Touch. Learn.


The application that I reviewed is called "See. Touch. Learn". It is a free application that can be used for a variety of levels and subject areas. The basis for the application is identification and classification through images. Different topic ideas for lessons included with this application are colors, letters, shapes, animals, fruits, body parts, and sight words. This application would most likely be used as individual or small group activity, rather than a whole class activity. Students could be given certain lessons based on their ability level to complete as a short daily or weekly activity for review/practice. A specific example of its use in the classroom might be for practice identifying animals that belong in a given family for 3rd grade science.
Pros: Variability of use, easy to use and create lessons, can record own voice, great for individualized learning.
Cons: Can only use the images that come with the application (although there are options for other libraries that you can purchase for a relatively low cost within the app.)
