Every month we are going to feature a different, and hopefully FREE, iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application. Visit our ever-changing app page. (www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/apps_web2_tools.htm)
The App of the Month for January is Oh No Fractions! The app helps students practice their knowledge of fractions in an interactive game. Students will be challenged to decide whether one fraction is less than, greater than, or equal to another. The app also challenges users to reduce or simplify fractions if possible.
Requires iOS 5.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Tech Tip #1:Use Guided Access on Your Apple Device
When a child is using an iPad or iPhone, be sure to turn on Guided Access. Guided Access keeps users from errantly clicking and ending up someplace they're not supposed to be or accidentally deleting something. To turn on, go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Guided Access. Turn on this setting and then triple click the home button in whichever app you want to use it on. For more iPhone and iPad tips, check out this page from Buzzfeed.
Tech Tip #2: Make Flash Cards from Google Spreadsheets
Here's how to easily make digital flash cards to help students learn material by using Flippity.net. Follow the on-screen prompts to: make a copy of a provided Google Spreadsheet, and then enter your questions and answers. Publish the spreadsheet and copy the URL. Return to flippity.net, and paste the URL you copied. Click the Go button. Use the icon in the lower right corner to flip and advance the flash cards. Click the Share button to get the URL and/or a QR code for your published flippity cards.
