When you select the app there is a background display of the sky and the grass is swaying back and forth. The letters are placed at the bottom of the screen. The child has the ability to select a letter from the alphabet. If the child's selects the same letter several times, the app will state the letter, provide the letter sound twice, name an animal that begins with that letter and the sound the animal makes. Alphabet Zoo provides continuous repetition. If the child prefers to learn letter sound correspondence in connection to different types of vehicles, that option is also available. Lastly, the app provides the teacher with a chart indicating which letters the student is having difficulty with.

I have had an iPhone for about four years and I would never pick a different brand. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about his or her experience with iPhones. iPhones are one of the most popular smart-phones nowadays. It is rare when I see someone without an iPhone. I would get an iPhone because they are one of the fastest smart-phones, they work well with other Apple devices, and they have great support help if something goes wrong with the user’s iPhone.

By attending TASP, I hope to acquire new insight to different topics. My knowledge in all of the seminar subjects isn’t incredibly extensive and I love hearing an extra opinion. Going to this program will expand my knowledge, and give me some experience in a college-style discussion with people passionate about the subject. One of my favorite things to see is when a person can get excited talking about their passion. Being in a discussion with people equally enthusiastic, or maybe even more so, as me, sounds like a wonderful, educational, and all around fun experience. It will also be good practice for when I go to college if I have any seminar classes. I know that the program will be a lot of work and it will not be all fun and games, but one of the things I hope to do in TASP is get to know new people. I’ve always found it interesting to meet new people and hear their experiences and perspectives because it brings a new light to my world. I

The literature supports the usage of iPads to support the PE curriculum, in particular dealing with science and movement (Lee S.

Bills et al. (2013) stated that there are endless applications that can be utilised within Physical Education lessons including data trackers, nutritional information, stopwatches, and heart rate calculators. All of the apps promote a more efficient learning environment that is centred on the student. The iPad also provides excellent opportunities to document, note-take and respond to questions instantly and having constant access to these ensures that the pupils are engaged (Beagle, 2012).
