KIDFIT: Health Education

The KIDFIT app provides kids with some insight on how to stay physically fit. It provides fitness tips for kids and also provides over 150 challenging exercises that are appropriate for kids as well. The app is set up with a model of the human body so that all kids have to do is click on the part/muscles of the body that they would like to exercise. After clicking on the desired muscles to work out, a list of exercises for that specific selected area will appear. You can then select an exercise and will be directed to a screen that gives specific step by step directions on how to perform it. The best thing about this app is that it can be parent protected. To make sure your little Michael Jordan is not over doing himself you can set up a parent protect password that allows you track what he is doing every step of the way. I give this app a 9 out of 10 rating. I feel that it not only helps educate kids with exercise techniques and physical activity, but also by learning parts of the body and muscles.

World Book: Historical Education

This app is an interactive history calendar. It displays historical events for everyday of the year. Not only does it tell you what happened on a particular day, but it also provides you with photos, links, speeches, and music to bring that day in history to life for you as well. I give this app a 9 out of 10 rating. I feel that it would be perfect to use in a history class for a fact of the day. It allows students to not only hear about what happened, but with the use of the media provided they can actually experience the people and places as well.
