New EdTech Resource | Sentopiary: Bring Sentence Silliness to Grammar Practice

3/29/2015

Author: Sentopiary Staff

The new sentence-building app Sentopiary has been released for iPads, with a special Sentopiary Lite version available for free. Aimed at elementary and middle school students, the app takes a playful attitude to breaking sentences down into their core components: a key task in understanding how to communicate ideas successfully. 

In a colorful, engaging design interface, students can work through various levels of difficulty to create sentences or can challenge themselves with a series of increasingly difficult test sentences. Sentopiary was designed with the U.S. core curriculum standards in mind and aligns well with vocabulary and grammar objectives at each grade level.

When you think about hands-on learning in the classroom, what’s the first thing you think of? If you had images of finger-paint and cutting and pasting, you’re not wrong.

However, there is a new wave of hands-on learning taking on today’s classroom: maker education. It’s no secret that today’s educational climate is heavily focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and student assessment. Maker Education understands that need, but also understands students need to make, play and create.
