The 19.7 MB Splash Math Worksheets for 5th grade (that's the one I reviewed) by StudyPads is robust, satisfying, and intuitive enough, fifth graders will have no problem installing, setting up and using it independent of adult assistance. The start-up steps are clear. Screens are colorful and uncluttered making their purpose easy to understand. The space theme will appeal to most fifth graders, especially with 'space' being a common fifth grade unit. Parents and teachers will be pleased that math skills are aligned with fifth grade Common Core State Standards and include an endless supply of problems on topics like decimals, fractions, dividing by two digit numbers, place values, number sense, multiplication, division, measurement, and age-appropriate Geometry and Algebra. Each topic has between four and twelve worksheets where kids drag and drop shapes, rotate clock hands, pop bubbles and lots more as they solve problems. The app uses an adaptive learning algorithm to determine the child's level and gradually increase the difficulty with the user's skill. To get started, students set up a personal account (up to six per app) with a nickname and an avatar, select a math topic and begin. Worksheets includes problems, feedback, the right answer, and a finger-operated notepad to use to figure out answers. Users get recommendations for areas that need work and points for right answers (enough points and they qualify to play a game). The app tracks progress through the lessons, keeps a report for later viewing, and will even email parents and/or teacher on progress. Progress is tracked by questions answered right/wrong and a visual graph. A feature I haven't seen in any other app is the ability to assign homework. When a student logs on, the app will tell them what worksheets their teacher or parents wants completed during that session. That's a big plus. At $9.99, I thought this might be a bit pricey for the average buyer (why pay when there are so ma

Gooru is a new service (still carrying the Alpha label) that aims to provide teachers and students with an extensive collection of videos, interactive displays, documents, diagrams, and quizzes for learning about topics in math and science. As a Gooru member you have access to hundreds of resources according to subject areas such as chemistry, biology, ecology, algebra, calculus, and more.

Screenbird is an online method of recording step-by-step tutorials and sharing them with colleagues, classmates, anyone. What I particularly like about it is there's no log-in required. Students can record their how-to, save it to a class wiki and create a collection of how-tos that everyone-even teachers-can use. You can create a 30 minute video (Animoto's is 30 seconds) Screenbird will host 150 minutes on their server, but you can create a lot more if you host it on your own wiki or YouTube. You can capture the entire screen or just the part you want. It's intuitive, allowing it to be more student-centered than other online tools. There are great tutorials on the website. The class can watch the videos, test it out, and get help where needed.

"The capstone of the curriculum framework is an online Beyond Textbooks™ wiki-a web based tool that allows for the collection of digital curriculum materials, support materials, and other digital resources accessible to all faculty. Teachers use the wiki to review the curriculum and calendars, locate and/or share resource materials, and to communicate and collaborate with peers across the District and State who use the same curriculum but who would not otherwise be available to share resources and provide other support."
