[] 60 Apps for Teaching STEAM

At the iPad workshop at MEC, Joan found a great app for handwriting. It is called __iWriteWords__, and it is free. It requires the child to write the numbers and letters correctly. It won’t work if they start in the wrong place… They can practice writing numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and words. It’s recommended for Pre-k through grade 1, but I plan to use it in grade 2 also.
