Lets Go Chipper! Program Launches at Barnes & Noble - Award-winning Series is Nature-inspired, Playfully Teaching Good Character in Children

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) August 30, 2011

With a goal to inspire family connections in nature and positively impact the social and emotional development of young children, Bay Area family entertainment company Its all Good media (IAGmedia, Inc.) launches its award-winning, eco-educational series Lets Go Chipper! Into the Great Outdoors into select Barnes & Noble stores today. Stores will feature end-cap and video displays of the premiere animated and live action DVD which also includes a bonus CD of award-winning music.

Winner of iParentings "Hot Product" Award and Family Fun/Disney.coms Top Ten Video Award, the DVD and bonus CD tell the story of Chipper, an overly curious city squirrel, who uses music, mishap and humor to playfully teach children about nature and the environment and the importance of respecting and caring for others. Children follow along as Chipper ventures into the great outdoors with his family on their first camping trip. It doesnt take long for Chipper to get lost but with the help of his eco-friends big and small he is returned safely to his parents with many conscientious lessons to share along with a new found love for nature.

The program offers many Chipper Tips which empower kids and parents to explore confidently and curiously together. Research shows interactions with nature play an important role in a child's development including building problem solving and critical thinking skills, creativity and positive social relationships.

Positive connections in the great outdoors directly benefit the physical and emotional well-being of a child beginning at the earliest age and we want to get them ready to go so parents will feel more confident about the experience, says creator Stephanie Rach-Wilson. We are thrilled to work with Barnes & Noble and help connect the store to communities through in-store events and our eco-educational and fun series that helps foster meaningful conversations and connections between children and parents, and with nature.

The company will list in-store events featuring story time, play-based activities and crafts for young children and visits from Chipper on its Lets Go Chipper Facebook page and announcements on Twitter.

The DVD package also includes a bonus CD featuring 5 original songs featured in the video; Im Chipper, The Smore Song, We All Live In The Great Outdoors, Blue Planet Green, and The Sun Comes Up, The Sun Goes Down.

Lets Go Chipper! Into the Great Outdoors was produced by Bay Area based IAGmedia, a conscientious media company delivering products and programs that help instill respect, empathy, and a mindset to contribute to family and community. In addition to the DVD, the company offers a series of movies, music, books, and educational apps for children, 18 months to 8 years.

New Hampshire Artist & Author Receives Angel Messenger Certification, and Launches New Angel Reading Website

New Hampshire (PRWEB) August 16, 2007

Anne Deidre Smith, a contemporary artist, spiritual book author, intuitive reader and coach from New Hampshire, has added a new designation to her already impressive list of credentials.

Smith recently became a Certified Angel Messenger.

In connection with her new certification, Smith has launched a website, http://www.hearfromyourangels.com , where people can go to receive angel readings and intuitive readings, learn meditation techniques, learn how to give an angel reading, sign up to host an angel party, receive guidance from their angels and much more.

"I've made a conscious effort," Smith said, "to integrate my angel messenger training with my gifts as a contemporary artist and spiritual book author to allow clients to 'really feel the God in us and be able to be forgiving, grateful, and strong.'"

Among those who have already taken advantage of Smith's new website and the angel reading services she provides, is Mary Tesch, who had this to say about the experience:

"Anne is a very special person with great energy, light and healing powers. My angel reading by Anne was amazing. She was able to relay messages from my angels with great wisdom and clarity. I felt great joy and peace throughout my impressive reading. To date my messages are as accurate as the day she relayed them. Anne was also able to recommend some meditations and further book reading which has proven to be very useful. Her intuitiveness is truly a gift from the heavens above."

Business owner Wendy Stevens has also taken advantage of Smith's new angel reading service and had this to say:

"Anne is a very intuitive angel reader. Her readings are very concise and her messages come through with clarity and deep wisdom. She has a strong angel energy and being in her presence is very healing. I would highly recommend her readings, and her book is very compelling. She is a special being!"

Smith is the author of the book, "Inner Visions, The Healing Path of Art," which is for sale at BarnesandNoble.com.

Smith also paints. Her inspirational paintings are currently on display at the Laguna Beach Gallery in California and she has created murals for restaurants and other entertainment establishments.

In addition to her writing and painting, Smith is also a noted expert in meditation techniques, intuitive readings and intuitive coaching. She recently launched a seminar speaking career in an effort to get her message to even more people.

"I want to give people all the tools they need to connect with their inner power because they will experience an incredible sense of increased creativity, peace, joy and optimism when this occurs," said Smith, who received her training as a Certified Angel Messenger and her Angel Attunements from Karen Paolino of Heaven on Earth in Abington, MA.

Paolino herself traveled to California and received her Angel Certification from the renowned Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. back in 2002.

After graduating from college with a degree in Art History, she began to paint as a form of expression. Most of her images come from within. One of her greatest joys is being able to translate feelings like despair or pain into an image of Hope, Faith or Love.

Anne's writing has been published in several online publications, featuring articles on spiritual intuition, the God Spark, and others still to come. In addition, her writing has been published on ezinearticles.com as well as newageinfo.com, jtchandler.com, articledashboard.com and goarticles.com.

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic Launches National Record-A-Thon

Princeton, NJ (Vocus) April 15, 2010

During the latter half of April, thousands of volunteers across the United States will lend their voices to a unique initiative making books accessible for individuals including students and veterans who cannot read standard print.

The national Record-A-Thon campaign, staged by the nonprofit Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D), is a 'tour de force' of volunteerism, philanthropy, and community engagement. At RFB&D's recording studios throughout the country, volunteer readers will log extra hours at the microphone to transform printed textbooks into easy-to-navigate audio books enabling hundreds of thousands of people with visual and learning disabilities to achieve educational success.

"For years, local RFB&D units around the country have conducted their own successful Record-A-Thons, notes Andy Malavsky, RFB&D's Chief Marketing Officer. "Now we are raising the bar on a national level, mobilizing thousands of volunteers to record more books, generate funds, and escalate public attention toward millions of individuals with learning differences and their potential to flourish from kindergarten to graduate school and beyond.

At numerous RFB&D studios, Record-A-Thon volunteers will join forces with an array of celebrities, local authors, civic leaders and businesses. At RFB&D's Northern California Unit in Palo Alto, ESPN commentator and former NFL quarterback Steve Young will visit, along with Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and children's author Ellen Klages. The Chicago Loop studio will welcome Congressman Danny Davis, Alderman Ed Burke and Chicago Teachers Union president Marilyn Stewart; while the Denver facility will host Colorado State Senator Linda Newell, author Helen Thorpe, and several well-known local TV news anchors. The New York City studio recently enjoyed a visit from former presidential adviser Vernon Jordan, while RFB&D's Cambridge facility will be graced with readers from the Junior League of Boston, Bank of America, and employees of many other area corporations.

Paraliminal Pathways Launches Powerful Meditation/Affirmation CD Set: 2 Voices, 2 Sets of Suggestions, 2 Times the Results

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) September 6, 2007

Paraliminal Pathways, a newly-founded women-run hypnosis CD recording company, is pleased to announce the launch of its first paraliminal CD set: Pathway to Prosperity. The set, which retails for $ 29.95, contains two CDs, one hypnotic paraliminal meditation session and one affirmations-based CD, both focused on implementing the Law of Attraction to create abundance (in the areas of love, friendship, satisfaction and gratitude as well as wealth) in one's life. Following on its heels, Paraliminal Pathways will release Pathway to Self Esteem and Pathway to Creativity. The company plans to release a total of 12 CD sets within the next two years. They will also create custom-made CDs -- by request and based on interviews -- to address the specific needs of some consumers.

Says Joan Schweighardt, the partner overseeing marketing, "Paraliminals are the next generation in effective self-hypnosis techniques. Basically, whereas traditional hypnosis CDs feature one voice providing one set of hypnotic suggestions, paraliminals feature two different sets of hypnotic suggestions (or patters), generally both recorded by the same hypnotherapist, so that one plays in each ear of one's headset. Here at Paraliminal Pathways, we've taken the paraliminal concept one step further: Not only do we have two hypnotic patters, but each is recorded by a different hypnotherapist, and both are braided together with music created specifically for each individual CD. The effect is incredible. The conscious mind simply can't hold on to the two different voices and different patters simultaneously. And so it drifts, and in so doing, it allows the subconscious mind, the one that is susceptible to suggestions, to come forward."

In addition to their work as hypnotherapists, L'aura Bodmer and Julie Mars, the two recording partners at Paraliminal Pathways, bring many years of related experience to their efforts. L'aura, who was born in Honolulu, is a Master Practitioner of ancient Hawaiian Huna healing techniques. In addition to a successful healing practice, she has given Huna workshops across the country. Julie, who is a life-long student of symbolism, Jungian dream analysis, and the esoteric interpretation of Tarot, is a certified yoga instructor, a creativity coach, a college writing teacher, and an award-winning author. (Her second book, a memoir called A MONTH OF SUNDAYS: SEARCHING FOR THE SPIRIT AND MY SISTER, was a Barnes & Noble "Discover Great New Writers" selection and was featured in bookstores across the country. Her third book, a novel called ANYBODY ANY MINUTE, will be published by St. Martin's in Spring, 2008.)

Adds Joan Schweighardt, "L'aura and Julie pour heart and soul into their work, ensuring that Paraliminal Pathways CDs offer a complex and effective self-hypnosis experience. Each CD is carefully prepared -- incorporating suggestions in both linear and metaphoric form -- with great respect for listeners and a sincere determination to create the pathway that leads to choice, freedom, and self-discovery. You can't help but feel loved and pampered listening their voices; the CDs really work!"

Arnold Bodmer, L'aura's husband and a highly respected musician who has performed with jazz, r&b, rock & roll and country bands around the world, has been commissioned by Paraliminal Pathways to create the music for each individual CD. His musical and composition mastery, combined with his knowledge (and practice) of Zen and Buddhism, render him the perfect candidate for the job. The feedback he has received to date on his paraliminal CD musical compositions has inspired him to create a series of instrumental CDs that can be used by other hypnotherapists or healthcare workers, as inspirational background music in their private practices, or simply for general consumer relaxation and enjoyment. His CDs will be available for purchase in the near future on the Paraliminal Pathways website, at http://www.paralminalpathways.org.

To learn more about Paraliminal Pathways, or to purchase Pathway to Prosperity or preorder Pathway to Self Esteem or Pathway to Creativity, visit http://www.paraliminalpathways.org or call 505-884-3690.

ShalinIndia Launches Copper Dinnerware for Holding Indian Theme Parties

New Delhi, Delhi (PRWEB) September 13, 2011

ShalinIndia, an online store for shopping cultural products from India has launched full range of traditional copper tableware dinnerware for its global customers. These tableware are meant to give authentic ethnic Indian dining experience. Customers are able to buy them online not only from ShalinIndias own online store, but also from other online marketplaces like Amazon, Ebay, Bonanza, Etsy, Atomic Mall and Webstore.

Our copper tableware is meant to give authentic indian dining experience. Ethnic cuisine is best enjoyed when eaten in traditional style. Indians have used copper, since ancient times, for making dining and kitchen utensils. Yellow is considered sign of good omen and therefore gold and copper have been traditional favorite metals among Indians, says Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia.

Indian foods are best relished when it is served hot. ShalinIndia tableware and dinnerware are made in two layers of metals with air cushion in between. This ensures that food stays hot longer when served in these tableware. The best form of drink to go with Indian food is often water or lassi, a yogurt based drink. Double walled tumblers ensure that water or lassi remain fresh and cool. Inner layer is made in stainless steel while the outer layer is made in copper. Food or drink is in contact with stainless steel only and not copper, added Shalini Verma.

We have launched full range of tableware. There are famous traditional thalis, which is a large plate with large ear-rims, four serving bowls called katoris, a tumbler glass, and a spoon and a fork. Rice or tandoories are usually served in the center of the plate, while the Indian curry and desert are served in the bowls. Most Indians use fingers for eating food. The thali plates are designed for use of fingers. Outer elevated rims on the plates ensure that the curries do not flow out of the plate. Besides thalis, there are large serving bowls meant for the center of the dining table. These are called by different names according to their shapes, like karahi for serving curry items, buckets for serving dals orlentils, dekchis and handis for serving rice or biryani, and tava for serving Indian breads or other tandoor items, explained Shalini Verma.

ShalinIndia is an India online shopping store selling mainly cultural products of India to global customers. The company has partnered with amazon to store its inventory in five countries US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. Amazon picks, packs and ships orders in these five countries. Orders from other countries are shipped directly from India. Every order is delivered within three to five days.

WooThemes Launches WooCommerce for WordPress

Cape Town, South Africa (PRWEB) September 29, 2011

WooThemes, one of the largest theme providers for WordPress sites, today launched WooCommerce, an all-new plugin application and library of integrated themes that help individuals and businesses turn WordPress sites into simple, elegant and fully-customizable e-commerce offerings.

WooCommerce is the best way for businesses to quickly build professional shopping sites with world-class designs and powerful, customizable features.

Rather than paying a fortune for an old-fashioned e-commerce CMS, or a newer hosted service that requires outside expertise to implement, individuals and businesses can now use WooCommerce to build WordPress-powered shopping sites without the headache and hassle that such projects typically entail.

WooThemes, founded over 4 years ago, has amassed 50,000 paying customers, and its free themes have been downloaded more than 800,000 times. WordPress itself currently powers 22% of all websites in the US.

WooCommerce is the first of a longer line of forthcoming products that leverage WooThemes for end-to-end WordPress development. It is also the first product from WooLabs, a new division at the company created to innovate new products and extend WooThemes as a platform.

With WooCommerce and WooLabs both, users can expect the same top-notch design quality that WooThemes is known for, as well as a powerful line of new applications that take our idea of themes to a new level.

This has been in the works for quite a while and now were proud to officially launch WooCommerce, said Adii Pienaar, co-founder and CEO of WooThemes. Weve spent the last 4 years building and selling themes. Were one of the top theme providers and a trusted partner for millions. We have a lot to be thankful for. But were not resting. Were taking everything weve learned along to the way, and are doubling down on WordPress, with a new application layer that tightly integrates with our themes and gives customers precisely the kind of end-to-end, holistic solution that theyve been asking us for.

The WooCommerce team is working on one-click integrations between existing themes and the new WooCommerce plugin. Statua is already integrated with WooCommerce to allow photographers to sell their prints online. Similarly, the Diner theme will soon be integrated with WooCommerce, allowing restaurants to accept take-away orders via their website. The SupportPress theme will be integrated to allow anyone to sell premium support of any kind.

This is a big day for the whole team, said Magnus Jepson, co-founder of WooThemes. Weve built a fast-growing business. Now, we want to turn great themes into great applications. If your business wants to sell more products or services online, WooCommerce is your first stop.

The approach of not only building the back-end platform, but also carefully integrating successful themes means WooCommerce can have a huge impact on any businesses looking to improve their ability to grow sales on the Web.

The expert integration of the right theme with the e-commerce platform makes it dead simple for a business to start making more money online, without having to take the one-size-fits-all approach of other commerce platforms.

WooCommerce is available for download today. The WooCommerce code is open source and can be found at http://woothemes.com/woocommerce.

WooCommerce Features Include:

Open source WordPress plug-in

Variety of product type functionality

Multiple payment gateway options

Comprehensive tax and shipping settings

iPhonesIntoCash.com Launches Referral Program with a Special Reward

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

iPhonesIntoCash.com announced today they are rewarding individuals for spreading the word about their service. The company launched a new iPhone referral program, http://iphonesintocash.com/referral_program, to reward not only their own customers, but also non-customers. Individuals earn $ 20 for iPhone referral sales and there is no limit to the amount of money that can be earned through the program. In addition, the company is hosting a contest for an iPad2 to kick-start the program.

iPhonesIntoCashs founder and president, Geoff Lilienfeld, explains about the companys decision to reward the general public in addition to the companys own customers, When we saw how much our customers appreciated the extra money they could earn through referrals we began to realize that we should make this program available to everyone. Even if you are a Blackberry or Android user, you probably have 20 friends who use iPhones. Why wouldnt you want to recommend a service where they would get paid for their old iPhone and youd make some money too?

The iPhone referral program includes a new referral portal, http://iphonesintocash.com/referrals, where the program is fully explained and users can acquire a personalized referral link which uses a unique code to register all referral sales and credit $ 20 to the users account. The unique referral URL can be shared via email, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, websites, or any other means. The portal also allows referral sales tracking, useful tips for increasing referrals and overall earnings reports.

Over the coming months, iPhonesIntoCash intends on adding additional features to the referral portal including a creative library which will allow users to download creative to place on their own blogs and website. The iPad2 contest is also featured in the referral portal. Each referred iPhone received gets the referrer an entry into the contest. Contest rules can be found on the iPhonesIntoCash website at http://iphonesintocash.com/referral_program/contest.

GOGII Launches textPlus Application on the Android Market

Marina del Rey, Calif. (PRWEB) January 4, 2010

GOGII, Inc. announces today the launch of textPlus, its popular next generation texting application, on the Android Market. Previously available only on the Apple App Store, the unique textPlus app now brings sponsor-supported free and unlimited messaging to Android users and allows them to have instant group "conversations" in text with friends on most U.S. carriers.

"We've already seen overwhelming consumer response to the textPlus app in the Apple App Store thanks to the millions of consumers who've embraced our game-changing features - from casual texters to the staggering number of consumers who text as their primary mode of communication," said Scott Lahman, CEO and co-founder of GOGII. "We're pleased to make textPlus available to Android users, and offer even more text-happy mobile consumers this tricked-out, next generation

texting service."

By leveraging GOGII's interactive messaging technology, textPlus allows both old-style texting - one-to-one conversations - and next generation texting - rich, engaging environments and instant group text conversations. A useful 'reply-all' feature, similar to email, turns texting into a chatroom that lets users make plans with several friends at once, introduce people to one another or just carry on a group conversation - all in text and all for free.

Additional features make it easy for Android texters to make textPlus their preferred SMS service, including the international ability to send free messages from abroad to friends in the U.S. using a U.S. 10-digit phone number and free Notifications when messages come into the app, even when closed. What's more, textPlus lets Android users communicate with friends who aren't using the app - they simply pay for texts through their existing carrier plan.

GOGII expects the textPlus Android app to be met with the same degree of consumer fervor on the Android Market that it has on the Apple App Store. To date, the textPlus app has already seen almost 3.5 million downloads, and over 350 million messages have been sent using the service since June. And while only the top 5% of applications in the Apple App Store reach 100,000 unique monthly visitors, textPlus exceeded that by over 7 times in its second month of release.

Coming soon to Android are textPlus "text addresses," which let users personalize texting and facilitate conversations, all without requiring a phone number.

The textPlus application can be downloaded for free from the Android Market.

GOGII, Inc. announced an $ 8.2 million Series B round of funding from Matrix Partners and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers last month.

About textPlus

textPlus leverages GOGII's next generation text messaging platform to bring free, ad-supported one-to-one and group texting, and enables seamless interaction between textPlus users and their friends using regular text messaging (SMS). The service is currently available on the iPod touch and iPhone on the Apple App Store and on Android phones from the Android Market.

About GOGII (go-jee)

GOGII provides customers the next generation of text messaging through its flagship product, textPlus, the leading feature-rich and fun third-party text messaging application.

GOGII, Inc. is backed by venture capital firms Matrix Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers' iFund, which is exclusively focused on developing applications for Apple's products. GOGII, Inc. was founded in 2008 by the three founders of JAMDAT Mobile, the leading mobile entertainment publisher that was acquired by Electronic Arts in 2006.

Black Rooster Launches With Viral Campaign, Zombies, Superheroes, andBugs?

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 18, 2011

Black Rooster Creations has launched its website with a viral campaign and three major book releases written by screenwriter Jim Beck featuring zombies, superheroes, and yes, even bugs.

The first release, Patient Zero, serves as a cautionary tale that mixes old school zombies with new school technology. Narrated by the zombie virus itself, the story follows single father Robert Forrester, who is brought back to life as one of the living dead after a botched experiment involving nanotechnology. His transformation is slow, first appearing as a skin rash and advanced arthritis, and he quickly begins to lose control.

Featuring a cover quote by Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of such zombie fare as his own Patient Zero and Rot & Ruin, Jim Beck's Patient Zero is currently available through Amazon and Smashwords as a digital download and will soon be available for such formats as Apple's iBooks and Barnes & Noble's Nook.

Accompanying the release will be a viral campaign through Facebook and Twitter beginning on October 18th, and will feature the main characters inner thoughts as his infection escalates. Details are available on the Black Rooster Creations website (blackroostercreations.com).

Beck stated, The idea for Patient Zero came to me after ingesting numerous forms of zombie lore and realizing that many of them shared the same basic formula of an unexplained outbreak, followed by a group of people trying to survive. I wanted to tell a more personal story about a single father trying to protect his son and defend their home while coming to grips with his own transformation. I also liked the contrast between zombification and nanotechnology, and telling the story from the point of view of the virus will provide readers with an insight rarely seen in the world of zombies.

The second and third releases coincide with the introduction of TV in Prose (TM), an exciting new venture that brings television into the world of books. Each series will be split up into seasons and episodes similar to a televised series and will include season-long arcs, season finales, and even cliffhangers. Current plans are for each series to have four seasons, with 6-8 episodes each. New releases will take place every 1-2 months.

The first TV in Prose title is Alter Ego, the story of a homicide detective who discovers that his demure wife is a superhero charged with defending their city against those who would do it harm. The second title is Pest Control, a cartoon of sorts that follows the adventures of a cockroach private eye as he tries to get back into the detective game after an eighteen-month hiatus.

Beck commented, I love television and I love books, and I thought someone should finally mix the two formats in a way that hasnt really been done before. Alter Ego and Pest Control have been pet projects of mine for several years, and I am excited to allow readers the opportunity to see whats in my head.

To celebrate their website launch, Black Rooster Creations is offering the first episode of each TV in Prose series for free. For details on where to go for a free copy, please visit their website (blackroostercreations.com).

Beck also added, With the formation of Black Rooster Creations, we hope to bring unique, original stories into the fold and are determined to have fun while we do it.

India Shopping ShalinIndia Launches Copper Drinkware for Ayurvedic Healing

New Delhi, India (PRWEB) September 16, 2011

ShalinIndia, a premier India online shopping store, has launched today a unique pitcher and glass set, made entirely in pure copper. According to Ayurveda, a system of alternative medicine, copper has healing properties. Storing water for three hours in these copper pitchers, for instance, is known to kill harmful bacteria and prevent certain diseases such as skin inflammation and piles, as well as spleen, respiratory, and gynecological disorders.

According to Ayurveda or the knowledge of long life, drinking water from copper tumblers is also known to prevent premature aging. To the delight of the modern cosmetics industry, copper has been found to stimulate collagen production, and some of the most well known brands in skin care have since integrated copper into skin creams for treating wrinkles, said Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia.

The pitcher and tumbler set are designed in traditional style. The Pitcher is in the shape of a Lota, which is sometimes used as Kalash in the Hindu system "pooja" or worship. The tumbler has a simple design without frills. The artisans of Mathura in north India have handcrafted the pitcher and tumbler.

We wanted to bring to our global customers copper pitcher and tumbler in the same shape and design as has been traditionally used in Indian homes, added Shalini Verma.

The copper pitcher and tumbler set from ShalinIndia can be purchased online from their own online store as well as from online marketplaces like Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Atomic mall, Bonanza and Webstore.

This drinkware set has been priced at $ 35 and can be shipped to all parts the world.

ShalinIndia is an India online shopping store selling mainly cultural products of India to global customers. The company has partnered with Amazon to store its inventory in five countries US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. Amazon picks, packs and ships orders in these five countries. Orders from other countries are shipped directly from India. Every order is delivered within three to five days.

Voki Launches New Classroom Management Service for Educators: Voki Classroom

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 16, 2011

Launched in 2006 as a free application, Voki enables teachers and students to create, configure and share customizable online avatars for education. Users can select one of many types of avatars, customizing every aspect, from size and colors, to outfits and even jewelry. Voki users can then create an audio message, based on text-to-speech (over 25 languages and 150 voices), a microphone recording, uploading an mp3 file, or even calling a number to record by phone. Users can select an image or animated background, or upload their own. Finally, Voki users may share their creation anywhere on the Web - posting it on 3rd party sites and blogs, sharing a link, or embedding it directly onto their websites.

Voki quickly became popular among educators, who enjoy the interactivity of the service, and students, who love new technology and creating speaking characters. Today, Voki has almost 1 million users worldwide, with thousands of teachers and students registering each week. Voki is used across a variety of topics and grade levels, and has some universal benefits:

-> Voki helps introduce fun and creativity to the classroom through technology.

-> Voki allows shy students to more easily express themselves through speech.

-> Voki serves as an effective language acquisition tool.

-> Voki increases engagement and interest levels among students.

-> As a result, Voki helps improve message comprehension in the classroom.

One drawback with Voki, according to many teachers, has been the inability for young students to register their own accounts due to COPPA. As a result, young students have been limited in their access to Voki.

While teachers and students love using Voki, we understood that there was a large usage gap. Voki appeals to many age groups, but especially to young learners - which is precisely the age group that had limited access, based on the age restrictions. We needed an easy way to address this issue says Jesse Kedy (Marketing Manager for Voki).

Based on extensive feedback from educators and Voki advocates, the Voki team has developed Voki Classroom, an online platform that allows teachers to manage students Voki experience. Some of the main features of Voki Classroom include:

-> Automatic Student Logins. After a teacher imports or adds a list of students, Voki Classroom automatically generates a login and a password for each student. This overcomes the need for students to register with Voki. This also eliminates the need for teachers to spend time showing students how to register.

-> Each teacher can add up to 10 classes (with multiple lessons per class) and 200 students.

-> Classes and Lessons. Teachers can add all of their classes and assign students to their respective classes and assignments. When students log in, they will see their assignments and can create their speaking avatars in class or at home. Each lesson also includes a Web page, which displays all student characters for that lesson. Lesson pages can be customized by the teacher and can include password protection.

-> Educators using Voki Classroom also receive unlimited online support, something that is not available with the free Voki service.

Voki Classroom is accessible from Voki.com. Additionally, Voki has launched a new Learn section (http://www.voki.com/learn.php), which will include resources for teachers and students interested in using speaking avatars for education. Finally, Voki will maintain free access to its Lesson Plan Database (http://www.voki.com/lesson_plans.php), which includes a growing list of lessons using Voki avatars across many topics and grade levels.

Voki Classroom is a paid service, which might be an issue for some teachers. Kedy says, We are acutely aware of the lack of school budgets for most things tech-related. Taking this into account, we have worked to lower the cost of the service to a very affordable amount. Our formula for affordability is simple: charge less than the price of one small macchiato per month, and ensure that the value far outweighs the cost. We believe that Voki Classroom meets both requirements. Voki Classroom also includes discounts for longer subscriptions, and for multiple accounts. For pricing details, see http://www.voki.com/products.php.

No features have been removed or reduced in any way from the free version of Voki. Teachers and students can continue to access and use Voki and all of its features, as they have in the past. Voki Classroom is our way of adding more value to the Voki experience, while making it easier to manage for educators.

For more information on Voki Classroom, please visit the Official Voki Blog (http://blog.voki.com/) which includes a 3-part announcement of Voki Classroom. Alternatively, you may visit http://www.voki.com for complete details.
