iWortarten lässt dich nicht im Stich. Du lernst handlungsorientiert, spielerisch die fünf Wortarten kennen und übst sie. - Nur zum Lernen, keine Spiele, keine Ablenkung - Für Schulen von Lehrperson entwickelt und mit Schülern erprobt - Keine In-App-Käufe, keine Werbung, keine Registrierung - Einfacher Lehrpfad, von vorne nach hinten, vom Einfachen zum Schweren - Lernmodus und Testmodus mit Punktauswertung - Hilfen wie Spicktaste, Wiederholungstaste, korrigieren im Lernmodus erlaubt - Lernen aus Fehlern: Sofortiges Feedback, auch Fehler werden genau kommentiert - Pädagogisch wertvoll, handlungsorientiert. Es wird dir immer geholfen und genau erklärt wenn du einen Fehler machst. So lernst du aus deinen eigenen Fehlern. In einem Satz zeigst du jeweils auf die gesuchte Wortart. Diese erscheint sofort in der entsprechenden Wortartenfarbe. Du erhältst sofort Feedback. Die Punkte werden gezählt. Wenn du Hilfe brauchst, betätige die Spicktaste. Jedes Wort wird dann kurz in der richtigen Farbe gezeigt. Nach jeder Geschichte und am Schluss kannst du die Punktzahl oder die Prozentwertung abrufen. Im Schlusstest sind die Spicktasten und die Wiederholungstasten nicht verfügbar, dafür erhältst du doppelte Punktzahl. Mit der Lern-App lernst du handlungsorientiert die Fünf-Wortarten-Lehre nach Hans Glinz wie sie in Schweizer Schulbücher gebräuchlich ist und übst sie intensiv. Für Lehrer sind die Lern-Apps ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel, um Schüler zu motivieren und zu begeistern. Die Inhalte werden auf der kognitiven und der motorischen Ebene vermittelt. Kommentar aus Deutschland (iPad@School): Dabei merkt man der App sehr deutlich an, dass ihr Entwickler Andres Streiff selbst in der Schweiz als Lehrer tätig ist und somit die Anforderungen an solch eine App sehr genau kennt. Für mich als Lehrer in Deutschland wirkt die schweizer Methode im ersten Moment etwas verwirrend, auf den zweiten Blick erkennt man aber schnell, dass sie sich nur wenig von der mir aus Deutschland bekannten unterscheidet. Schüler sollte das allerdings kaum auffallen. Die App ist wirklich liebevoll gestaltet und für ihren speziellen Zweck hervorragend geeignet. Meine Empfehlung hat sie auf jeden Fall!
