Hi! My name is Giselle Uffens. I am the CEO and owner of DigiTells Software. I was lead to your iRead program from a teacher friend of mine. I think your organization would be very interested in our Read-Along With Me software. It was just released January 2009.
The program accomplishes several things, in a very simple step-by-step process, that even a child of 5yrs old can accomplish. You can record stories, page by page, line by line...however you wish. The software will seam it all together. In addition, our program walks the user through, step-by-step, in adding sound effects and background music. Teaching with music is also very powerful.
In addition, we manufacture "generic" ipod nano's for $9.00 and the "generic" touch for about $40.
We are building a huge celebrity following (I think I have about 100 videos encouraging kids to read from various Disney stars and others). We are launching the Read-Along With Me program nationally through a 2-minute DRTV spot in July 2009.
Also, we are launching a foundation, "Literacy & Legacy" in which educators,like yourselves, will have access to our program and Mp3 players at cost. (VERY AFFORDABLE)
Please check out our website... www.DigiTells.com and contact me, Giselle @ 858-603-5087. I'd love to be involved with your organization.
Thanks!
