Description
The RAG is shake-me-up box of delights for the iPhone that generates thousands of fresh learning challenges. Give the RAG (Random Activity Generator) a shake, the cards spin and you are presented with a random activity to do. Primed with over 50,000 possible combinations the RAG contains a wonderful storehouse of delightful calls to action – it will take you to the tipping point between view and do.
The aim is to provoke thought, activity and a deeper understanding all in the innocent guise of having some learning fun, facing a challenge and making something.
UK technology guru and writer Merlin John has called it "A fruit machine for learning"
Ideal for:
* People of all ages wanting to set themselves a quick bit of learning
* Teachers looking for a few thousand ideas
* Parents wanting to make learning more fun
* Home educators who need a bit of inspiration

Cool App, But Needs Some Options
This app does exactly what the description says: it generates a random activity that students can do to teach a concept. To use the app, you simply shake your iPhone or iPod, and the topic and activity spin, landing on a random topic and activity. The problem is that I could not figure out a way to set preferences or customize the preference to display only certain subjects. For instance, I am an English teacher and would like to set preferences to see only writing activities or only literature assignments, but the generator pulls in topics from all subjects. If this change were made, I might feel more comfortable giving the app 4 or 5 stars, but because this option doesn't exist, especially in a $2.99 app, I can't rate it higher.
