This picture was taken from Kidthing (www.kidthing.com). Here students are able to play without being connected to the web. Kidthing is a digital media player delivering fun and engaging learning content to students. Looks like they are targeting a range from 3-11 years old. There is no beginning set-up fee for the few free items. The rest of the content starts at 99 cents. There catchy theme is play it, pick it import it. After browsing their store where you purchase you content I was hooked. You can search by games, books, etc and by age. If you search by type of content you will find a picture, the age group that it is intended for, the cost and an abstract. Love this! Great for increasing literacy!! Looks like a great tool but might be something used for one on one instruction since this is not an option for a whole class. This would however be a great question for them because I am just thinking about purchasing things for each student would be costly. More research about this issue but would love to use it with my children.
