Resources for Parents - Scoop.It Page

As a service to parents, we have created a Scoop.It page tailored to parents of students at Central Cambria Middle School.  Scoop.It is a web application that allows a curator to create a web magazine from links and articles from any source on the web.  As time allows, we will add to the page on a periodic basis any article or information that we feel might be useful knowledge for our parents to have.  This might include learning apps for mobile devices, strategies to improve your child's health or school performance, or other information that could be beneficial.  Understand that the material added to our Scoop.It page is created by outside authors and sources, and that even though we added it to our page it should not be implied that we are endorsing the ideas, products, or theories contained therein.  It does mean that we deemed the content worthy of adding to the page as a resource or information for you as a parent to consider and do with as you please.  Ultimately, the growth and achievement of all of our students is goal #1 at Central Cambria Middle School, and anything we can do to help get them there is seen as a benefit.  Your feedback is always appreciated, and if you have suggestions or comments about the new page, please email me at csantini@cencam.org

To start the page off, we have included articles featuring 50 iPad apps for struggling readers, 50 educational apps for Android devices, and 40 science apps.  There is also an article on the benefits of promoting an active lifestyle for your child, and it's link to educational performance. Check out the page here:
