Start-to-Finish Online books on iPad

(PRWEB) May 01, 2012

Don Johnston Incorporated today released Start-to-Finish Online Accessible Library. Company founder Don Johnston said, “Thanks to the power of cloud computing, struggling readers can now use their iPads, mobile devices, and laptop computers to read some of the most important and powerful books ever written. Just one license allows classrooms in an entire school to read books from school or home without buying copies for everyone.”

Before going to the cloud, Start-to-Finish built a strong fan base over a decade with computer, audiobook and paperback book sets. The product concept was a personal mission for Don Johnston who didn’t read a chapter book until the age of 15. “When we designed our first product line, we focused on helping students overcome every possible roadblock.” He said, “We did this at production costs so high that they may never be replicated.” Start-to-Finish authors are passionate about helping kids read. So books are written at a 2nd to 5th grade level and edited by specially trained SLPs. Characters and plots come to life with the help of professional narration. Built-in assistive technology helps students with disabilities. Data collection allows teachers to track the amount of time students spend reading and end-of-chapter quizzes show comprehension results.

Don Johnston has many letters from Start-to-Finish readers. During a recent visit with Don, a ninth grader named Ireland explained, “Start-to-Finish books don’t feel like other books. I can actually read them. I get lost in the stories.” She added, “These are the books that got me reading.”

Start-to-Finish Online Accessible Library includes a complete library of books tied to the common core curriculum standards. Titles include retold classics like Treasure Island and Macbeth, original mysteries, sports biographies, and non-fiction titles like For Liberty: The Story of the American Revolution, The Story of Anne Frank and Ancient Egypt.

“The accessibility magic is in the technology,” says Don. It supports professional narration that models intonation and fluency. Readers get support with alternative keyboards and switch scanning, allowing access with one or two switches.

K-12 school districts can purchase school-wide licenses that include all available titles for $ 429 per year per school. The Unlimited Site License includes unlimited school use for all students and also includes take-home rights.

With the release of Windows 8 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion support, Cloudpath continues to build on its solid track record of quickly adding support for new operating systems.

The Levana BABYVIEW20 earned an 8.5 on 10rate’s Top 10 Baby Monitors list.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

10Rate reviewers and staff selected 10 of the best baby monitors for 2012, assigning each a numerical rating as well as awarding three models that stood out for quality, value, and budget. Testing and consideration for this Baby Monitors Top 10 list were given based on the following set of nine criteria:

1. Wide range

2. Secure, interference-free channels

3. Clear reception

4. Low battery/out of range indicators

5. Ample battery life

6. Minimal static

7. Two-way audio communication

8. Adjustable volume and sensitivity

9. Bonuses like nightlight, camera, or lullabies

The annual Best Baby Monitor 2012 awards list was headed by the Motorola MBP33, winning the Best Quality spot and a near flawless 9.5 out of 10 rating. The review noted several strengths of the digital video baby monitor as follows: “The model offers three screen sizes; the medium one, at 2.8 inches, runs at $ 169.90, and is large and clear enough to give you a good view of your infant. The monitor offers a crisp picture resolution, even in the dark with infrared night vision. Other perks include digital camera functionality, room temperature monitoring, adjustable volume, and 5 built-in lullabies. For a wireless monitor, we were impressed with how well it worked, with no interference from other wireless devices in the home.”

10rate’s editors also gave the Best Value Baby Monitor award to the Angelcare AC2012P. With a rating of 9 out of 10, the review boasted, “The pad rests under the baby and sounds an alarm if it detects no movement for more than 20 seconds. Additionally, the sound monitor offers a clear connection and has a great range. You’ll appreciate being able to ‘see’ the baby’s noise level even if you can’t hear it over a vacuum cleaner or dishwasher. It’s handy having two parents’ units, also, so both mom and dad can rest assured that their child is safe. For all that the set offers, the $ 95.29 price tag seems very reasonable.”

Additionally, the Best Budget award from the Top 10 Best Baby Monitors list went to the Safety 1st 8026 Crystal Clear Monitor, for which 10rate noted, “For a no-frills baby monitor, this Safety 1st model provides remarkably clear audio from your infant’s room. With a belt clip, you can easily carry around the unit as you go about your business; it allows for a range of up to 400 feet. The battery life is ample, too. An indicator light lets you know when the juice is running low so you can charge it with the included AC adapter. While there’s a faint static sound, it’s not enough to hamper its basic functionality. It may not be the fanciest model available, but it more than serves its purpose and costs only $ 26.16.”

Angelcare was the only brand featured for multiple models in 10rate’s Baby Monitor Reviews. While only featured for one model, the Philips Avent SCD510 review had this to say of earning second place in overall rating: “A sleek baby monitor from Philips, this Avent device lets you hear the slightest cooing and breathing from your infant. If you prefer, you can turn down the volume and still detect noises from the nursery thanks to the LED light indicator. With DECT technology, the sound is crystal clear and highly sensitive; with over 100 channels, you won’t have to worry about interference from cell phones or other wireless devices, and your baby monitor’s channel will be private and secure.”

10rate.com conducts reviews in various product and services categories and publishes “Expert Top 10 Lists for Everything in your life.” The company’s web site strives to “Make it Easy” to select from the hundreds of choices there are in the product and service market place. All products and services are thoroughly researched by the company’s expert editors prior to receiving a rating on a 1-10 scale. In addition to product reviews the company’s editors write guidelines, buying guides and articles on various topics surrounding each product or service category covered to help educate the consumer.

Weston, Florida (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

Cheerleading has come a long way from the days of saddle shoes and pom-poms. Today’s cheerleaders are athletes in every sense of the word. At The Sagemont School, members of its competitive cheerleading team are respected student-athletes and role models on campus.

Cheerleading is a recognized sport by the Florida High School Athletic Association. In addition to cheering at football or basketball games, cheerleading teams also compete. At the 2012 Florida Cheer and Dance Competition, the Sagemont team received first place in its division and second place all-around. The girls also participated in last fall’s Universal Cheerleaders Association Competition in Orlando.

“These girls are true athletes, as they must learn flexibility, gymnastics, dancing and timing, stunting and cheering as a unit,” explains Christy Safont, head cheerleading coach at Sagemont. “It is a physically challenging sport as the girls push their physical abilities when they throw girls in the air, tumble and perform a non-stop two minute and 30 second routine which has over 50 counts of material.”

High school student, Briana Padron likes the exhilaration of competing. “My favorite part of competitive cheerleading is actually being on the floor and competing because we work so hard for a crazy two minute routine that only has one chance to hit, so in that moment when it all comes together it’s nerve racking and exciting.”

Teammate Jessica Velez, a senior, also enjoys the excitement of performing on stage. “It’s so much fun to me, and all the energy from the fans and other teams help pump me up.”

“What I enjoy most is getting out on the floor to show people our dedication to cheerleading and to show how hard we work,” adds middle school student grader Elizabeth Hurwitz.

Of course, the girls also enjoy cheering for the Sagemont Lions basketball team which made it all the way to the State Championship Tournament in Lakeland this year. They came in second in the state for their division.

Just like the boys basketball team, the cheerleaders put in hours upon hours of practice. According to Coach Safont, the team practices four times a week after school and once a month they practice on Saturday for two hours at a local cheerleading training facility with a competitive floor and experienced instructors. “These girls pack so much into a short time that it is amazing how much better we get every year,” shares the coach. “The level of difficulty increases every year and that is a testament to the type of girls we have.”

The cheerleaders are true role models on campus. They all maintain above average GPAs, are leaders in various clubs and honor societies, and are active in school functions and activities. “Academics is always the girls’ first priority,” explains Coach Safont. “With a coaching staff comprised of Sagemont math and science teachers, we make sure to incorporate study and homework time between practice and games and on trips.”

The girls also learn a lot from cheerleading. Because it is a team sport, they learn how to deal with many different personalities. According to Coach Safont, they also learn to be patient, adjust and to ‘go with the flow,’ and function as a unit rather than an individual.

That’s a lesson Jessica Velez will take with her when she goes to college next year. “From cheerleading I learned what it means to be a good role model and what it takes to be a good teammate. You have to be respectful and reasonable towards everyone. It also taught me to cooperate better with people.”

“I have learned discipline, as well as how challenging it can be to work with so many different personalities,” adds Briana Padron, noting that in the end they all learned to cooperate and work together as a family.

And that’s the lesson Coach Safont, Coach Henne and Coach Bononi want all the girls to take away from this experience. “There is definitely a bond within the team. We are a huge family and try to look out for each other.”
