Mobile Learning – Learning on the Go With iPhones

Teacher Tips — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:16:27 +0000

Our two year old grandson loves to play educational games on our daughter’s iPhone. It’s perfect to keep him occupied when they’re in the car, at the doctor’s office, or up in her office at work. His favorite game right now is Toddler Teasers. The games include letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. These are available at the iTunes App Store.

It’s amazing to me that our grandson, who is two years and two months old, knows how to play games on an iPhone. Technology is amazing and such a wonderful tool for learning!.
