Review from an iTunes user - 
  I have owned this for quite awhile now and I am right now listening to my 2 year old laughing every time she completes a puzzle. Out of all of the apps I have purchased for my kids (and I have over 5000 apps) this one is the most used by my 2 year old. This game seems to have perfectly crafted the app so that the kid is rewarded with a nice animation when the puzzles are done. It is rather neat because the puzzle picture morphs into an animation. I hope you create more apps like this because I will certainly buy them.

Developer Chat with Top Class Apps

Developer Chat with Kevin and Kent of Top Class Apps. 

Q . Hi Kent and Kevin , welcome to AppAble. Can you please tell us how Top Class Apps got started ?
 A. We have known each other since graduate school in the late 90's. Over the years we have collaborated on several educational technology projects. Top Class Apps came about as we realized the impact that mobile devices such as the iPad and iPhone could have on student learning.

Q. When exactly did you get started ?
A. We had both attended the Nebraska Educational Technology Association (NETA) conference in 2011 and began brainstorming ideas for creating educational apps as a result of sessions we attended. We officially were founded as a company on March 29, 2012, but had been working together on this pretty much since that NETA conference.

Q. How did you decide on the name ?

A. Kent came up with the name and purchased the domain soon after the conference. We brainstormed several other name ideas as well, but kept coming back to Top Class Apps. We think it fits the educational app market nicely - and we strive to make apps that are "Top Class" while helping kids make it to the top of their class.


Q. Do either of you have a background in IT or how did you end up in this field?

A. We both have full-time careers in education and technology, so our work in app development is a side passion and hobby. Kevin was a high school math teacher and is now a Learning Technologist for a national organization. Kevin has a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology. Kent is currently an assistant principal at an elementary school of nearly 700 students. He has also been a classroom teacher and technology specialist. Kent has a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology.


Q. What is next for Top Class Apps ? Have you an app coming out soon ?

A. As we do both have full-time jobs, work on projects for Top Class Apps moves "slow and steady". We have multiple apps in various stages of development. Realistically our next app will be out next spring or summer. We would like to release two new apps by the end of summer 2013.


Q. My son has used Spelling Star and has had great benefit from it. He loves the star reward system . Do you plan on integrating a similar reward system into future apps?

A. We are so happy to hear that your son is benefiting from Spelling Star! There are many good spelling apps out there - and one of the great things about apps is that it is affordable for parents to get multiple similar apps to provide their children a variety of ways to practice. Spelling Star is unique and effective due to the immediate feedback provided by our Mastery Practice Model. This is a research-based practice strategy. The stars help students see their progress, plus it is similar to many of the popular games that kids play, so they understand the "three stars for mastery" idea. One of our future apps will likely incorporate a similar star reward system. Our other future apps are totally different concepts - you'll have to wait and see :)


Q. Have you plans to cater for older groups as well, or even other subject areas ?

A. Yes - but for now we are keeping our future app ideas unannounced. We are excited about our future apps and will look forward to sharing them with you as they are closer to release.


Q. In terms of Beta- testing your app was this done in a school setting or how did you go about it ??

A. We had our own children use the app as well as children of friends to make sure that it was kid-friendly to use and parent-friendly to manage.


Q. Do you seek advice from outside sources such as teachers when deciding on what type of app would be developed?

A. We started with spelling because parents were often asking Kent about how to help their kids become better spellers. With Spelling Star, parents (and kids) can easily add the words from their actual spelling list, and then they can see at a glance how close the student is to mastery of the list.


Thank you Kevin and Kent for taking some time out to tell AppAble about Top Class Apps.

Spelling Star by Top Class Apps - giveaway




This app is designed for both iPhone and iPad
  • $0.99
  • Category: Education
  • Updated: Sep 27, 2012
  • Version: 1.0.2
  • Size: 11.1 MB
  • Language: English
  • Seller: Top Class Apps, LLC
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later.

Description

Raise spelling scores and become a better speller with Spelling Star!

Spelling Star is perfect for practicing spelling lists and sight words for school, homeschool, and spelling bees.

Why Spelling Star Works…

Your Actual Spelling Words

You add the word lists that spellers are studying at school or home. Record each word or use a sentence to make the word meaning clear. Words are presented in a random order so spellers are ready to spell them in any order on a test or in a spelling bee. Some users have shared that having their children add and record their word lists has been another good way to practice each week. Practice anytime, anywhere!

Mastery Practice

Spellers practice their words until they are mastered. Spellers earn a star each time they correctly spell a word without a hint. Three stars equal a mastered word. When a speller has mastered a word, Spelling Star will remove that word from the practice cycle. This allows spellers to focus on words that need extra practice. Individual words or full lists can easily be reset if additional practice is desired.

Immediate Formative Feedback

Spelling Star immediately lets a speller know how they did on each word. It also provides them the option to redo the word right away if an error is made. Spellers can move on if desired, but the ability to fix an error on the spot reinforces the correct spelling. No more waiting until the end of the whole list to find out how they are doing on each word.

Summative Feedback

At the end of each practice cycle, Spelling Star provides feedback for the entire list and provides the option to immediately practice it again. Spelling Star also provides a quick view of progress towards list mastery within the list selection screen. Spelling Star makes it easy to see how close spellers are to mastery.

No List Limits

You can add as many lists or words as needed – helpful for multiple users or for saving lists over time. Spelling Star comes with two sample lists – you will add your own spelling word lists to practice.

Audio and Hints

Spelling Star replays the recorded audio as many times as desired with no penalty towards mastery. If a speller is stuck, they simply tap the hint button to get a quick look at the word so they can finish it. While a hint won’t count towards mastery, it gets the speller un-stuck and prevents frustration. Spellers can then practice the word again or move on.
