Unroll Me - It has made my email manageable again!

Unroll.me from Unroll.me on Vimeo.


This is for those gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc . accounts that get out of hand with subscriptions. I was very skeptical at first, but after about a week I realized I am able to see the emails that are important and I don't have to weed out all the "stuff" that I don't care about.  Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.  It gives you the option to unsubscribe to the numerous emails that come to your account or you can create an unroll where it will take the subscriptions you choose and roll them all into one email for you to view!   Super cool!

Unite Literacy- Free online books with narration- any language!

Website:  Unite Literacy
Cost:  Free

Interactive Books that students can have narrated to them in any language!

Level- Pre K -2nd grade

This is a great Free resource site for students K-2nd grade.  There are several categories to choose from for types of books/reading they want to do.   They can even select various languages to listen to the reading.  The only downfall to the site is when the pages are read the words do not highlight as they are read.  

Waterford Institute Free Learning App K-2

 
iPad App: My Backpack

Level- Pre K -2nd grade

Great find of a free educational app made by the Waterford Institute.  We currently run the Waterford paid subscription for the PC in our K-2 building and the children really enjoy playing and learning on this software.  Features include:

• 4 Mental Math Games – Interactive addition and subtraction games with 25 progressive levels and 3D animation that encourages and challenges children, yet is so fun they don’t want to put it down.
• 5 Nursery Rhyme Read-Alongs – Creative nursery rhymes that encourage exploration and reading, in a board-book format with interactive features that appeal to pre-readers.
• 35 Songs – Catchy, original songs illustrate reading, math and science concepts in fun ways that make sense and stick with the child.
• 16 Traditional Tales books – Beautifully illustrated interactive read-along stories allow the child to choose if she wants to read on her own, be read to, or watch the story like a movie.

I just tested out this app and I am super excited to load it to our iPads in our K-2 Building.  Another perk to this app is "no in app purchase".  Love it!
