I am SO happy to introduce a new app that is the perfect addition to your classroom this year, Tappity! When Tappity reached out to me about how they had some parents mentioning that this app was so beneficial to their kids with special needs- I knew this would be a great tool for the classroom too!

When I first downloaded the app I was SO HAPPY to see that they used emoji’s as visuals to support text all throughout the app. Why is this great? With our special education students already familiar with both emoji’s and visuals- the app is already appearing relatable and accessible.
Tappity does a great job of giving kids a variety of ways to access the fun topics on each page. They support their text with visuals, include interesting audio, have an interactive component, and include video on almost every page! This is great for kids that need multiple modes of learning or for kids that benefit from one mode over another.
The topics currently available in Tappity hit many grade level standards, many of which are part of state assessments. From the solar system to Earth’s core to the ocean floor- this app has topics for every learners science interest.
How would I use this in the classroom?
We all know our students LOVE the iPad right? So why not make it learning not just play! This app has so many interactive components that your students will enjoy using it.
+ Use this app for independent work during classroom centers.
+ Use the app for early finishers
+ Support student interest by allowing them to explore topics they love through this app
+ After learning about one of the topics included (they add new topics weekly!, use the app for review and to reinforce information learned
