iPad Apps at East Quogue

The East Quogue Elementary School has a class set of iPads that is available to our classes. We have added many educational apps that are being used by our students. The enthusiasm for the iPads is quite amazing and the apps that we are using have come from teacher suggestion as well as iPad conferences that have been attended by some of our staff members. Some of the advantages of the iPads in education are as follows:

1. They are lightweight
2. They are easy to use
3. They have touch screens
4. They hold the charge for an entire day
5. Great educational apps have been created for the iPads
6. New Educational apps are being created each day
7. They go on instantly instead of requiring a boot up
8. They turn off instantly

Some of our classes are even writing books that will fill up the iPad bookshelf. This is our most exciting iPad project. We are even designing book covers for our books and including pictures and even video embedded right in the book. Mrs. Bellucci's class was the first to write a book entitled, "Class Stories." Several other books are in the process of being created by other classes. It is our hope to make these stories available to the public to download in the near future so that we can line your iBook shelf with some East Quogue stories.

Below is a list of free apps that we have on our class set of iPads. We intend to add to this list in the future. If you have an iPad and would like to download these apps, follow these instructions:
