Toca Boca apps are on sale- a steal at $.99.
Keep your eyes open for good deals as we head back to school! I just got a loaded itunes card so I'm ready to download some amazing new apps to tell you about but free is ALWAYS best ;)
Using technology in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways to make learning come alive and differentiate instruction so that all students achieve.
