Swedish Preschool, Linguistic Immersion, and Baby College.

Swedish elementary school begins when kids are 7 years old and there's no real formal structure to preschool except "socialization". What do they teach in preschool? Not ABC's, Counting, and Colors...How "To be a good friend and to believe in their own abilities."

I would love to try it out. We've just started getting into ed. apps for the iPod Touch and will be doing several days of training in the next few months with a couple of days in August.

Thanks for thinking of me!

Hi Mike,
I read about your offer for a free 4 week trial of GradePad. We have a group of about 25 teachers just finishing a pilot year with iPod touches - will add to that group next year. We are also meeting with administrators this summer for a training. Would like to check out the app for teacher and principal use. Can you get us provide trial licenses?
Thanks,
Brad
