For homeschoolers, by a homeschooler. I'm Jennifer Bogart, a homeschooling mom of four, 8 months - 8 years. I'm an app-loving, aspiring geek dedicated to helping you hunt down the best homeschooling apps for your children. There are a lot of apps out there, let me help you narrow them down.

Congrats! Very exciting to be part of this. I follow you on Facebook.
I have my eye on Language Builder for our youngest daughter.
I would get a couple by Hamaguchi apps; First Phrases HD and Picture the Sentence.
Well, I have to say my favorite app right now for my son is called Special words. It’s a really fantastic app for him.
Favorite App is Bobo Explores Light. This is what education and the iPad is all about. Who knew I’d have to demand my child stop learning about science so she could go to bed.

Fav app is the frog Dissection one for science! My son loves it!
I shared this on facebook.

I’d like to pick up the Apologia Biology Flashcards~ those looks excellent (And timely!) I would also like to get a printer app and possibly a word-processing app. (Lots of stuff on my wishlist, hey?)
Hmmm… hard to pick a favorite~
so far I like
Shakespeare in Bits (Haven’t used it that much yet),
Adding Apples/Subtracting Sardines,and
Stack the States~
There~ one for each age group that uses my ipad~
Would like to purchase some apps that you gave 5 Apples like: Kids at Home, KinderApp.

I would get the following apps…
Learn Canada’s Capitals
ILive Grammar Botany or iLive Grammar Autumn
GeoBee Challenge
Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry
OR some Kid Sciences apps…
I vote for Punflay apps

Some that we’ve enjoyed this year: Stack the States & Presidents vs Aliens, Math Top-It, Rocket Math, MindSnacks French & Blob Chorus. MathBlaster was too hard for my 7yo – not the math part, but the aiming/shooting part. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Presidents vs Aliens, but I play it more than the kids!
I facebooked it.
I stumbled it.
I posted on Delicious!
I would like the Simplex Spelling.
I nominate Umizoomi Numbers.

I posted on Digg It!
I asked my kids what their favorite app was. They couldn’t decide between Stack the States/Countries or Hyper Blast. I have to say though that they never miss a day to watch Brain Pop, so that is probably the most used app around here.
