I run a Technology lab for close to 300 3-5 year olds for Head Start. I also am the consultant on app purchases for our whole agency of over 1000 students in over 50 classrooms.

I think you may have made the app I have been searching for. Pre-school students needs apps that let them create and not just "glorified work sheets" or some story told to them. I will let you know in the next few weeks how it works in my classrooms :)

An evidence based blog of useful or not so useful apps would be very interesting to me.
I think I might actually need to make that. I am starting to think I need to spread out my consulting to outside sources and there really isn't anything out there to get REAL numbers and real information on apps for pre-k through 3rd grade.
That's awesome, thank you! It will be very interesting to hear the results from you classrooms. My email is per@discofingers.com.

Your students are a bit under our target group, I'll admit that. We've found that pre-school students might struggle with understanding the concept. But they still like to play with the characters and use the voice record functionallity.

Wow thanks a lot! Would be great if you would give us some feedback from your classes. Just throw us a mail: per@discofingers.com
