Newbridge DLs trial some new apps for school

At Digital Leaders recently we have been looking at new apps that could be put onto the I-pads. These include:

• Numbler
• Easy Measure
• Daisy the Dino
• Cato's Hike

Reviewing them we have decided that Daisy the dino is a good app for school because it is easy to use, you can start to program and we think it would be ideal for years 3 & 4 and we have found a way to link this into our learning because on our school computers we have a programming app called Kodu .There is another programming app called Cato's hike which we have decided is not as good as Daisy the dino.
