An Easter Basket full of Apps...


I have obtained redeem codes for a few applications courtesy of Lima Sky as a sign of appreciation to the members who have joined the I Education Apps Review Ning. I have put together 5 "baskets" with redeem codes for ABC Match, AniMatch, Flags iLearn, and Easter Memory Match. Each basket will have one code for each of these applications.

If you are an educator (or parent/grandparent- my son loves these apps) who is interested please send a message to me here in the NING and I will message you back with your "basket".

First come, first serve so join the NING and send a direct message!

You can check out my review of AniMatch and ABC Match here...
