Parents are often challenged to find creative ways to get their kids excited and interested in reading at a young age. We know how important reading skills are for children’s academic success and futures. Ultimately, we want to engage our kids and get them to read. It seems to me that one of the key ingredients is the fun factor. That is, if we can make reading fun, kids will want to do it. The question is how?
With the arrival of electronic devices such as the iPad and other tablets, kids seem to be spending more and more time in front of screens (not to mention the television, computer, etc.). But with the digital and interactive technology offered by the iPad, we now have a unique opportunity to encourage our kids to practice and develop their reading skills. Sky Fish Phonics and Hideout: Early Reading are two Apps that may offer an answer.
In this post, I will introduce you to two Apps. Sky Fish Phonics is an educational and fun game for young children that teaches basic reading skills
En el artículo anterior vimos como conectar iPad al Wi-Fi. Una vez conectado seguramente querrás navegar por internet. Este artículo es la primera parte de una serie doble en la cual te muestro los elementos básicos para aprender a utilizar Safari. Safari es el navegador web estándar incluido con tu iPad.

Star gazing has always been source of people’s admiration and curiosity. I remember spending several hours as a kid looking at the stars, especially during summer camp, trying to discover patterns, animals, or shapes as well as their meaning.
You don’t need to be a child to gaze up at the stars at night and contemplate the vastness of the sky and universe. For those of you who appreciate the peace and beauty of the stars or those who would like to know more about the stars, there is an iPad App
As the silver screen started producing superhero movies such as The X-Men and The Avengers, children have started rediscovering the world of comic books.
Most of them will want to have a superhero or comic book-themed party on their next birthday. Along with the preparation of the event, parents have to prepare
On a previous post I discussed how to use Google Maps on iPad using your Safari web browser.
Now the wait is finally over. The new Google Maps App for the iPad is here!
I really love this new App. It is very intuitive and easy to use! The App has been improved from the old version and this one contains many cool features. A few worth mentioning are voice guided turn-by-turn GPS navigation, public transit, biking and walking directions
Who does not love comic books? I certainly have fond memories of spending hours reading the latest adventures of Archie, Spiderman, and Batman when I was a kid.
While I may no longer be inclined to buy a comic book in a store, I have rediscovered my enjoyment of comics through the iPad! And, I recently got reacquainted with my old friends Archie, Betty, and Veronica :)
In this post, I will discuss the Comixology App and potentially help you return to your source of childhood entertainment.
I recently went on a little summer vacation with my wife. As part of our trip, we spent some time with friends and family who we rarely get to see in person. Since we all live in different cities and countries, we usually keep in touch by email, phone or Skype. Of course, as you well know, the issue is it takes time to write an email and talking on the phone or Skype requires both parties to be available at the same time.
A faster, more efficient, and easier way to communicate today is through text messaging. I find that you often see people texting each other on their iPhones, iPads, or other devices just about everywhere you go. It makes sense why. A text message is short and quick to send and
Everyone loves the long days and short nights during the summer months when we can dine outside and the city comes to life! There are endless choices of restaurants but sometimes finding the perfect one and making a reservation for 2 or more people becomes difficult.
Plus, finding a new favorite spot to eat can pose an even bigger challenge while on vacation or traveling on business to another city.
I am very excited to share with you an App that can help you take care of these problems.
The Open Table App lets you make restaurant reservations from your iPad (or iPhone), quickly and free!

Summer vacation season is starting in North America and Europe. Millions of digital pictures will be taken with our iPads, smart phones and digital cameras to capture those beautiful landscapes, fun adventures, and precious family moments.
What happens with all those pictures when we come home from our trip?
Probably about 1% or fewer are actually printed. A much bigger percentage is uploaded
The moon, stars, planets, constellations. Since the beginning of time they have been source of admiration for people in general. Who has not stared up at the sky and gotten lost in the stars? Maybe you’ve even dreamed about becoming an astronaut one day…
So far only a select few have been able to travel into space and to see the moon up close. Luckily there is the NASA App on iPad that allows us
