Edublog have announced their Top 5 education mobile applications for 2011. In first place was an application designed for teachers but in 2nd place is an application called ABCDay.
Designed for younger children it teaches the alphabet (including phonetically), the correct way to create each letter and it focuses a little on spelling. Please note the price is shown in NZ dollars. Simply search this application in iTunes to locate and buy. It is designed for the iPhone but plays nicely on the iPad as well. Mr G.
