One such company is Daily Interactive, which is now launching Happly for iPad , a collection of original and curated content for kids, including online videos, games, and stories. And while the content may be deemed educational, the kids might not realize it, given the app’s focus on topics kids love to explore, like dinosaurs, space, sports, animals, how to’s and more. The company was created by Brian Monnin and Greg Harris, who met back in the 90′s launching and developing interactive products for MSNBC.com.Teaching Kids with iPads – Part 1 of 5 | Elementary School Tech Ideas
