Using Palms in the Language Arts Classroom
| Palm Programs for Math | for Pre-K, Kdgn and Gr. 1 | More Palm software on Tony Vincent's site. |
These programs (except Inspiration) are installed on our Delmar Palm handhelds.
What If Builder
This program allows students to write stories such as "Choose your own adventures" and more. Download What If Builder. |
Text Twist
Students try tp turn 6 letters into as many words as they can. You can shuffle the letters around on the screen to help you think of more words. Download Text Twist. |
iKWL
iKWL on a Palm handheld helps students record what they already knows about a topic, what they want to learn about a topic and what they have learned. Students can generate a word list which becomes immediately available as students write what they know, want to know and want to learn. |
Inspiration for the Palm
Students can create concept "maps" for math as well as language arts activities. Students can tap letters and numbers available for them on a pop-up screen or they may use a Palm keyboard. Inspiration software for handhelds |
Wordful
Wordful is a word puzzle game. Teachers can create their own words lists to put spelling or vocabulary words on the screen for a wordsearch on the Palm. Download a trial version of Wordful. |
Silly Sentences

Spell It
This Palm application allows for input of words and definitions. Students can unscramble words, take a practice test and then a test on words in the "group." Students can see test results and their incorrect responses. Input must be done on the Palm but then word groups can be beamed to other Palms. Spell It is available as a free download on the Tony Vincent site. |
Quizzler Pro
Teachers can make quizzes for their students in any content area... language arts and math included. Quizzes can be made in Memo Pad or MS Word and then imported into Quizzler Pro. You can set the quiz to have sound for correct and incorrect responses. Students might also enjoy making their own quizzes. I have made some quizzes for Quizzler Pro which I put on my webpage: |
