Name: StoryBuilder for iPad
Price: $7.99
Features: This app helps students with many educational goals, including the improvement of paragraph formation, the improvement of integration of ideas, and the improvement of higher level abstractions by inference. The app also includes over 500 audio clips to help students with sensory processing disorders to improve their auditory skills, but visuals are also provided. Students can also record their own voice and use auditary cues to construct a narrative. There are three levels of play, and stories can be easily saved and e-mailed.
Likes/Dislikes: Love how this app actually helps students construct cohesive paragraphs, something which can be a challenge to teach. The auditory clues can really help students develop their story in an orderly way. It could be childish for older students, though. It would be interesting to use an app like this to help secondary students develop essays.
Recommend: Yes, but for younger students only.
