‎ScratchJr
Rating
0.0 stars

ScratchJr is an app that is available through Apple (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id895485086?ign-mpt=uo%3D4) or Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratchjr.android).

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.

By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.

‎Snapseed - Photo Editing App
Rating
0.0 stars

Available for both iOS and Android: (copy and paste url into your device browser)
- Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snapseed/id439438619
- Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed&hl=en_CA&gl=US

Snapseed is a free photo-editing app where you can take photos in the app and edit them, or edit photos already in your camera roll.. It includes a large number of preset filters to apply to your photos, but there are also 29 tools you can use to apply precise and fine-tuned effects, such as tune, curves, crop, brush, perspective, HDR scape, vintage, retro lux, portrait, lens blur, frames, vignette, text, and more. You can also save a combination of edits as a particular "look" that you can then easily apply in one tap to other photos.

There are built-in tutorials that quickly show you how to achieve certain looks, from vignettes to vintage postcards. Each one is very short, listing the tools that are used in the tutorial, then going through what you need to do with step-by-step visual examples.

One particularly handy aspect of Snapseed is how easy it is to undo and revise work. At any time, you can undo or change any edits made so far, allowing you to access each edit separately. Then, once you're done with your image, you can share it, open it in another app, export it (creating a copy with permanent changes), or save it, which saves the image along with its edits that you can still undo/change in the future.

Tinkergarten: Outdoor activities designed for kids ages 3 to 5 years old
Rating
0.0 stars

Tinkergarten offers play-based outdoor activities that suit a wide range of ages. These activities are purposefully designed to bring 3, 4, and 5 year olds together with their families to bond while developing problem solving and emotional skills, as well as learning how teamwork can be integral to group activities. Activities can be sorted by age, grade level, or by learning domain/content. Many of these activities align with the philosophy and beliefs in the Play and Exploration document, as well as the Essential Experiences documents from the Ministry. The activities themselves are not technology based, so instructions could be printed off and sent home for families with limited technology resources at home, while still allowing them to participate in supplemental learning with their child
