Tales2Go is an app that streams thousands of audio books for all ages and genres -- kind of like a Netflix for books! Like MackinVia, I'll add the steps to log-in in case you need to know when the interns aren't around.
The first log-in screen will give you the options of choosing "Individual" or "School". You'll choose "School".
On the next log-in screen, you'll enter in the Heartland AEA username and password. (See a tech intern or ask another teacher if you need assistance.) You'll also choose US, Iowa, and Roland-Story Elementary School. Tap "Login".
Now that you are logged in, you can start listened to books!
You can find a story based on its topic (Age, Grade Level, Genre, Storytellers, Characters and Series, Celebrity Narrators, Spanish, Kids Music, etc.) or by the source.
If you know the title of the book you want or have a specific author or narrator, you can tap the Search icon at the bottom of the screen and look for a book that way.
Some other cool features are you can favorite a story, bookmark your place, and search your history. This app goes really well with the Common Core and Daily 5!
