Colors of a blog

The colors you pick for your blog should be colors that are pleasing on the eyes and ones that allow for the text of your blog to be easily read on the background colors for your blog.

Designing a blog

In designing a blog the best idea is to make sure you talk about something that you're passionate about, this way you won’t lack enthusiasm and it will not be found as boring.

Monkey Word School Adventure

The next educational app that I’m going to talk about is Monkey Word School Adventure.  The app age range is really any age. Honestly my nephew does play this app from time to time but it is a little harder for him because he is still young. In this app you will find Spelling Stone- Monkey needs help with his spelling. He can show you what it looks like, but do you know how to spell it? Use the magic gold letters to solve the puzzle! Sight Birds- Monkey is looking for special gems and the sight birds have them! Help him collect as many as you can before the time runs out! Features letter recognition and sight words., Letter Writing- Learn to write uppercase and lowercase letters by carving them in the ancient stone writing wall., Phonics Bridge- Oh no the bridge is out and two little chinchillas are going to miss their play date! Help them get together by fixing the bridge using the engineering power of phonics!, Word Wall- Using and ancient map Monkey has stumbled upon a mysterious puzzle. Help him solve it by finding all the words on the map!, Rhyming Maze- Help a greedy little Chinchilla find his treasure by drawing a path using words that rhyme, & Terrarium- Populate and decorate your own interactive terrarium! Choose from tons of plants, frogs, butterflies and dragonflies to create your own unique worlds. The only thing that I don’t like in this game are the hints because they tell you were the stuff is it’s not actually hints but the answers. This app is available on amazon at the price of $1.99 and it has a 4.7 rating with 224 reviews mostly 5 star ratings. It’s available on Google play at the price of $1.99 but it has a 4.4 rating with 166 reviews mostly 5 star ratings. It is available on iTunes at the price of $1.99 and it has no rating or reviews on iTunes.

Monkey Preschool Lunchbox app

My topic is about Educational apps for children. I am going to be using the formats of Kindle Fire and iPhone 5 but mostly the Kindle Fire. The first app that I’m going to talk about is Monkey Preschool Lunchbox. This app I would range from age 3-6. This app is one of the apps that I use with my nephew a lot and he’s always asking for monkey and he plays it all the time. This app you find the different fruit, touch the shape, match the fruit, there is a sticker area in the game as an award to encourage progress, put the fruit back together, count the fruit, find the color, and the letter that the fruit starts with are all the games in this wonderful game. If you happen to pick or guess the wrong one the monkey will tell you by shaking its head and making a monkey sound. This app is available on amazon at the price of $1.99 and it has a 4.5 rating with 653 reviews mostly 5 star ratings. It’s available on Google play at the price of $1.99 but it has a 4.5 rating with 1,329 reviews mostly 5 star ratings. It is available on iTunes at the price of $1.99 and it has a 4.0 rating with 118 reviews mostly 5 star ratings.

My Inspiration

My Inspiration came from 2 amazing children in my life they are my niece and nephew. When you think about your career when you are younger you don't really think about the people that will inspire you. I knew I always loved and wanted to work with children but it really didn't completely hit me until I was holding my nephew that is almost 4 years old then 2 years later when my niece was born now that I'm going to have another niece or nephew soon it's showing me even more that I want to work with children. Now I have not always persuade my degree in Early Childhood Education but I was going to do Graphic Design but then I changed my mind back to my true calling of teaching our future leaders.
