The cite iLearn technology offers many different reviews of apps, and suggestions on ways to use technology in the classroom setting, that are written by differnt teachers, educators, and education enthusiasts. These are all blogs, and there is one that I was drawn too regents I first opened the page.

The blog that I read and and going to review is, Monster Math: Building Menatl Math Skills and Fact Fluency. This blog is more of an app review of the app Monster Math. Since I am a math major, this was a very cool blog.

The blog also offers a couple different ways that the app can be used in the classroom. The blog offers the ideas of using it in 3rd and 4th grades. It helps with subtraction and addition, as well as multiplication and division. It is great for these classes when trying to remember the common mathematic equations using the app like flash cards. This is a fun way to develope a better understanding of the four main areas of math.

Another way to use the app would be for individual students to use as an individual tracking device. The student can see their progress on their personal technology device and they can see what they need to work on, and what they know pretty well.

This blog offers a very in depth review of the app and is very helpful. The editor of this blog is not given, but whoever wrote it, did a very good job of researching the app. Hopefully I can use the app when I become a teacher!
