La RAE lanza la App oficial del Diccionario Lo prometió García de la Concha antes de dejar la dirección de la Academia y lo reiteró su secretario, Darío Villanueva, en numerosas ocasiones: el mundo digital debía ser una prioridad para una RAE del siglo XXI que, como el español, había dejado de tener fronteras. Van despacio, pero con buena letra. Bajo esta máxima han lanzado una aplicación gratuita que permite consultar el Diccionario de la lengua española en dispositivos móviles con acceso a Internet. Desarrollada por Grupo Planeta, la editorial de la publicación, esta aplicación, cuyo promedio de descargas era ya de 3.000 diarias antes del anuncio oficial, puede bajarse tanto para teléfonos y tabletas que funcionen con los sistemas operativos de Apple (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) como para los que usen Android. Por ello, entre los varios modelos posibles de organización ha elegido el que mantiene con toda claridad la separación entre los dos documentos.

About Wonderopolis Welcome to Wonderopolis®, a place where natural curiosity and imagination lead to exploration and discovery in learners of all ages. Brought to life by the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL), our Wonders of the Day® will help you find learning moments in everyday life—ones that fit in with dinner preparations, carpool responsibilities, a stolen moment between breakfast and the bus, or within school curriculum and education programs. Wonder is for everyone. It can happen anywhere and at anytime. Since our inception in October 2010, Wonderopolis has been lauded for our fresh approach to wonder and learning. With multi-disciplinary content that purposefully aligns to Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the STEM Educational Quality Framework, and Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy, we’ve earned a place in K-12 curriculum and in classrooms worldwide. Children, parents, teachers, schools, and families all benefit from Wonderopolis—as well as contribute to its content and growth.

Bloom's interactive taxonomy Last week I had a wonderful opportunity to attend a Master Teachers Course organized in Prague by Intel Teacher Engage and led by the one and only Ollie Bray. Ollie had 18 of us from Eastern Europe + Spain glued to every word he said and made us do all the activities eagerly and enthusiastically for almost ten hours every day. He's an exceptional presenter, a skilful teacher trainer and a great person. Everything was meticulously organized by the wonderful Ruth Merrett from Intel who made it all run smoothly and who took care of all of us with a smile on her face. One of the teachers in the course was my dear friend Rose, who I had the pleasure of meeting virtually almost three years ago when she joined my Greetings from the world project. In the course we talked about HOT skills and my dear Rose made a glogster about Bloom's digital taxonomy with all the links to the tools that can be used to enhance these skills.

Books About Fine Art Archives I am passionate about art, and I believe that if our kids can tell Dora from Diego they can tell Picasso from Matisse. So even if like me you are in a small town without easy access to masterpieces you can share it with your children through books. These picture books about art are a great way to expose your kids to famous works of art , the lives of artists and even to a little geography all without having to leave your house. Touch the Art: Brush Mona Lisa’s Hair by Julie Appel and Amy Guglielmo is the inspiration for this post and my son’s new found love of Renaissance Art. Babar’s Museum of Art by Laurent de Brunhoff is one of my favorite art books for kids. Georgia’s Bones by Jen Bryant won’t expose your child to much of the artists work but it will give your child a sense of who she was and what inspired her. Learn the Alphabet with NorthWest Coast Native Art by Ryan Cranmer (and others) was an amazing gas station find. Action Jackson ABC Pop! Museum Trip In the Garden with Van Gogh
