Weathercube is an easy to use app with the current day’s forecast and a list of the daily events from your calendar. With a simple swipe, you can flip the cube between days and even times of the day. It provides the current forecast in addition to the forecast for the morning, afternoon, and evening. Temperature, wind speed, rainfall, percent of cloud coverage, and humidity are included.
Swackett is a fun app that not only shows you the forecast, but it also shows you a “peep” wearing an outfit that’s appropriate for the day’s weather. It includes additional features such as UV index and daily trivia questions. This would be a great app for kids to use in the morning to know whether or not they should take a jacket or umbrella with them to school.
While we don't need the little "peeps", I do agree that kids would enjoy having the cartoon like appearance to this app. I remember in elementary school having to look at the weather everyday. We probably should be continuing this in secondary schools as well. We just need to use more advanced words than sunny, rainy, cloudy, etc. I may try this with my SPL that I have first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Swackett would be a great app for students to use as a reference.
