Alicia Vandenbroek replied to Linda Quaas's discussion Links that work on ipads???"Have you tried those websites using the app Rover? Doesn't work perfectly, but does allow limited access to flash content. A lot of the websites like Discovery/NASA also have free apps so that might be another solution for you."

Our elem school has gone 1:1 with ipads this year. My 4th & 5th G students bring them to the media ctr for using the catalog to search for books to check out. During check out time I have always let them go to my media ctr webpage on our school website using the media ctr computers. The problem now is most games/videos on these sites (discovery kids, NASA kids, etc) won't work due to flash issues. Does anyone know of any good ed websites that would work on ipads? Thanks!See More

Greetings Linda,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
