Preparation:
I think the Spelling Test app would be beneficial at the K-6 level. I know some kids minds tend to wonder during a test when the teacher is calling out the word and using them in a sentence. The Spelling Test app allows children to see the letters correctly and not in their own handwriting. My daughter's teacher has used this app this year and she loves it. I also have seen an improvement in her test scores. The voice is very precise in pronouncing the words and that is very important.
Presentation:
Educreations is currently used in several of the classes that I sub in. It's wonderful for creating video lessons. Pictures can be inserted into the document to break the monotony and make the lesson more appealing. There are also featured lesson plans that are available for teachers to use.
Book Creator is wonderful for all levels. I've seen it used in a fifth grade classroom this year. Courtlyn's Social Studies teacher has used it for the students to be divided into groups and individually collaborate on the book. It's wonderful that it allows the students to work individually but all of them share their input with each other. The homeroom mothers used the same program to put together a keepsake book for the teacher's end of the year gift.
Not very much on how any of these apps work. Good overall assessments, though.
