Giveaway: You're the Storyteller:The Surprise HD

Recently Ron featured this as a Good Free App of the Day and it's so good that I also wanted to give away THREE codes for You're the Storyteller.

You can read what Ron thought about this app here. This really is an app with endless possiblilites for creativity and imagination. Both the Tot and her teenage brother have been busy with it this morning and as lovely as they both are, they are also terribly hard to please.

Incredibly hard to please....(Roll on school starting in 11 days)

If you want to buy this app, please use the magic button that supports Smart Apps below.

And if you'd like a chance to win it, please comment below and tell me something funny that's happened you today. It's rained all day here, I need a chuckle. Winners will be posted on August 26th at 4pm, EST, U.S.

From iTunes:

You’re the storyteller! In this beautifully animated, wordless story, the child watches each scene and can then record and/or write their very own narration! This is the HOME version. It is for a single user only.

In this delightful story, a boy brings home a stray dog and attempts to hide it from his mother. Using body language, facial expressions, and carefully selected sound effects, the story unfolds and we find out why this story is called “The Surprise!”

There are eight chapters in this story. Each chapter’s animation clips runs an average of 15 seconds, allowing the child to describe and retell the story in small increments. The user may replay the entire narrated story from beginning to end via the Table of Contents. You can also watch the original story with or without music accompaniment, email your story including the voice file, or print it out!

 bspThere are “Challenge Words” provided for each chapter. These are optional and for more advanced language learners who want to try and put them into their narration. The “Questions” bone provides three questions for each chapter. Answers and suggestions for both of these are available in the Information page.

This is the HOME version. Only one user’s voice file and one written narration is kept in the program. When a new recording or writing is provided, it erases whatever was previously recorded or written. (The Professional Version keeps the voice/narration files for up to 30 users)

Aside from being just plain FUN, this app lends itself well to a host of educational and therapeutic possibilities: practice with articulation, fluency, syntax development, social cognitive skills including perspective-taking and body language/facial expression interpretation, and much more!

Developed by noted speech-language pathologist and author of Childhood Speech, Language & Listening Problems: What Every Parent Should Know, Patti Hamaguchi, M.A., CCC-SLP.

We were waiting outside the McDonald's drive-thru for a replacement order after they'd flubbed ours the first time through. "Aha," I thought, "A teachable moment!" I began to discuss with my little (homeschooled) students the importance of focus and paying attention to the work at hand. Just then my son (age 5) broke in with -- I kid you not -- "Hey, look, a shiny thing!".

Currently I am on a health kick. I take my son to the shop to get a pirate costume for a special school day. In the shop window is a big GIANT and I do mean giant Buddha. He turns to me and says "That looks just like you Mum" in the most loving way!!!! Guess the health kick isnt going as good as I thought!!!! :S lol

I have 2 kids at home with post-holiday flu. Luckily I found crappypictures.com. Have a look at this Mum's hilarious take on life with 2 kids. So simple. So true. So funny.
