@iPad_storytime: I also find, 4 testing it's good to wait until the app is really ready, overexposure to a bad beta makes it hard to find bugs #storyappchat

@lynleystace: @brooks_jones But our apps focus on a diff kind of literacy: visual literacy and so on. Highlighting therefore not necessary. #storyappchat

@lynleystace: @iPad_storytime Yes! Some books I LOVE reading to our kid. Others bore me to tears. On this point, Goldilocks is one of them. #storyappchat

@iPad_storytime: @TracyB04 Hi Tracy! So glad you can join us ... you are a great resource for story app creators with lots of testing exp. :) #storyappchat

@Julia_Brannon: @lynleystace btw I'm a big fan of your Artifacts app. It has some spooky bits, but so do many classic children's tales. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:52 am

@lynleystace: That doesn't mean Goldilocks is bad -- the opposite. But its repetition drives me up the wall. Great for a narrated app! #storyappchat

@TracyB04: @iPad_storytime You are too kind! Thank you. Love storyappchat! #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:52 am

@lynleystace: @Julia_Brannon TY. I'm drawn to the macabre. Prob shouldn't listen to Florence & The Machine while I'm working on apps. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:53 am

@brooks_jones: @lynleystace I agree with @Julia_Brannon, I LOVE The Artifacts. I think my kids will appreciate it more as they get older too #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:54 am

@iPad_storytime: @lynleystace I'm ready to have Hansel & Gretel dropped from the lexicon, personally. But my kid still loves fairy tales. #storyappchat

@Julia_Brannon: I'm excited that my son is in a new school this year that should be good for focus groups / beta testing. #storyappchat

@lynleystace: @brooks_jones Thanks, Brooks. Good to hear! I know our app benefits from adult intervention/explanation. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:55 am

@Julia_Brannon: @iPad_storytime There's not much more macabre than the Brother's Grimm. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:55 am

@lynleystace: @Julia_Brannon Where you are, do more and more schools have iPads in the classroom? #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:55 am

@TeachersApps: who has had any experience with textbooks? #storyappchat

August 27, 2012, 1:56 am

@lynleystace: @Julia_Brannon Indeed! Except how many parents are reading the ORIGINAL versions, I wonder. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:56 am

@brooks_jones: Totally agree--I think some of the traditional fairy tales are downright creepy! Still liked reading them tho. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:56 am

@iPad_storytime: @lynleystace I appreciate when an app diverges from typical path for book apps, passion for your story matters a lot ... #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:56 am

@brooks_jones: @lynleystace Exactly--the original of The Little Mermaid, for example, had the MC die at the end! #storyappchat

@Julia_Brannon: Macabre must be universal appeal. I love these folk tales from India put into an app by @jjbooks http://t.co/KSHhykZU #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:58 am

@lynleystace: @brooks_jones I've been reading our kid some original versions. In her imaginative play, toys have started getting dead. #storyappchat

@Julia_Brannon: @lynleystace Yes- just got news that a local public high school is giving iPads to all students. #storyappchat
August 27, 2012, 1:59 am

@lynleystace: @Julia_Brannon Excellent. I hope there are designated funds for the *apps* somewhere, not just for the expensive devices. #storyappchat
