We are a small company making short, ten-minute fun films about really famous people from history like Isaac Newton, Vincent Van Gogh, Galileo, Christopher Columbus and many more. We aim to tell kids the life story of these well-known names in an engaging and simple way. Educationalists, parents and teachers tell us that this simple, fun format works well with young children as well as adults who've forgotten exactly who the famous scientists Marie Curie is and what she did. Please check out our website and if you like it, consider adding us to your list next time!

The app I'm talking about is Nearpod, which has featured presentations from Khan Academy but it comes with questions and assessments included, videos and polls! it works fine when trying to engage your class. you just need to download the app, sign up and there you'll be: ready to enjoy khan's content. If you liked my idea, Nearpod's webpage is www.nearpod.com I hope you have a look at it!

For every ipad you could get two Archos tablets for example. From my (admittedly limited) knowledge these can do most things an ipad can do, and in the days of tight budgets, surely these options should be considered?
