I’m Laura Candler, blog author, passionate teacher, and creator of Teaching Resources - a website for grade 2-6 teachers featuring hundreds of eLessons and eBooks.
The iMums - Amanda, Alison, Mary and Grace - are four mothers from around the globe dedicated to educating parents about the best digital stories, educational apps, fun games and technology products available for their children. We also offer the latest news in apps for kids, interesting articles and developer interviews, as well as free apps and regular product and promo code giveaways.
