Apps with Curriculum Facebook Party
Apps with Curriculum Facebook Party!
This month we are hosting another fun Facebook Party featuring PicPocket Books Apps with Curriculum, Cyndie Sebourn of Sascyn Publishing and other participating developers who are part of the Apps with Curriculum program. PicPocket Books has created a separate library on their website of apps that include a common core standard aligned reading activity.
Cyndie Sebourn, a retired teacher has created Apps With Curriculum, www.appswithcurriculum.com, an educational technology service to develop Common Core-aligned lesson plans for book app developers. Ms Sebourn is a retired Arkansas educator, founded Apps With Curriculum to make educational apps better suited for classroom use. All curriculum is downloadable and free to access.
“Teachers are looking for quality educational apps that can provide more than an hour of entertainment to their students,” said Sebourn, a National Board Certified Teacher who was in the classroom for more than 20 years. “By pairing curriculum with apps, I provide teachers with another tool to integrate technology into education and to help kids be 21st Century Learners. Now through Apps With Curriculum, educators can easily find quality apps that can be quickly assimilated into classroom education.” (Source: AWC Press Release 2/20).
Many of PicPocket Books authors have worked with Ms. Sebourn and they now offer more than 10 apps that have these common core standards aligned reading activities included in the app! You can find them at: https://www.picpocketbooks.com/ccssapps/

Can’t wait for the party! If I could request one correction for A Troop is a Group of Monkeys it’s that it’s by Little Bahalia Publishing – not Template for Storybook Apps.
See you there and THANKS!
Julie Hedlund
Oh, and also – I’ve provided three codes. Thanks again!
