PBS Parents Play & Learn

PBS Parents Play & Learn is a free mobile app featuring more then a dozen games for parents to play w/ their kids.  These games are designed to help kids 4 and under to build their Literacy and Math skills.

More info from their promotional email, "The app provides more than a dozen games parents can play with their kids, each themed around a familiar location, including the grocery store, restaurant or home. The app not only provides games, but gives parents advice on adapting these games in real-life settings and the option to receive push notifications with more tips for building skills. The app divides activities into three stages: baby, toddler and preschool."

Parentella

Parentella is a social network for teachers and parents to collaborate. It is designed to let teachers share any number of resources w/ parents such as: class news, homework, images, events, etc. The way this is done is by creating a class and then inviting the parents to join that class.

What I like about Parentella are the number of options that you can customize to meet your needs. For example, you can set messages to private, adjust how they are displayed and on what pages, etc etc.

I feel that this is a secure place for parents and teachers to merge ideas and facilitate communication w/ the ultimate go of helping their children.
