Goodnight iPad
Goodnight iPad: a Parody for the next generation | Ann Droyd
19 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
In a bright buzzing room, in the glow of the moon-and iPhones and Androids and Blackberries too-it is time to say goodnight... Modern life is abuzz. There are huge LCD WiFi HD TVs and Facebook requests and thumbs tapping texts and new viral clips of cats doing flips. Wouldn't it be nice to say goodnight to all that? Like the rest of us who cannot resist just a few more scrolls and clicks, you may find yourself ready for bed while still clinging to your electronics long after dark. This book, which is made of paper, is a reminder for the child in all of us to power down at the end of the day. This hilarious parody not only pokes loving fun at the bygone quiet of the original classic, but also at our modern plugged-in lives. It will make you laugh, and it will also help you put yourself and your machines to sleep. Don't worry, though. Your gadgets will be waiting for you, fully charged, in the morning.

The tagged book isn‘t the one I‘m reading. I just found it funny that there is an #ipad version. My goal today is to read until mine lets me know it‘s time to recharge, so I can be ready to start a new reading challenge on March 1st. I‘m only about 30% done with my current read, so I might just barely make it in time, but I‘m not one for reading multiple books at the same time. The one I‘ll be starting is also a #chunkster. It will take time!

bnp March is a good month for a chunkster. 2y

Goodnight IPad is a "parody for the next generation". It's based on Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon. This book is a RF about a kid who lives with many electronics. When it's time to go to bed, the old lady takes each electronic away one by one, until all they're left with is a book, which just so happens to be Goodnight Moon! This book would be great to teach as partner work. Students will be given both Goodnight IPad, and Goodnight Moon.

tclivio This comes from the lesson plan on https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Goodnight-iPad-Lesson-Plan-2305823?s.... Through this, students will be able to make a text to text connection. Comparing both of these books with a partial will cover UDL 8.3 (Foster collaboration and community) and EL 2 (promote cooperation). #ucflae3414sp21 3y

Came in right on time since today is day one of many I will be spending at home. I THINK I‘m gonna re-catalogue my books, and this beauty will come in handy! Not to mention help me jot my notes down so I can get going on the book I am co-writing.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during all of this! And keeping busy... maybe flying through a tbr? I know I‘ll try to!

Goodnight all you fabulous people, it‘s 2am here and I‘m gonna attempt to get some decent sleep before the #24in48 #readathon kicks off in 12hrs time. One of the drawbacks to living in Australia is the time zone difference, even being an insomniac doesn‘t quite get me on the same page as most of y‘all. I‘ve got my books all handy, comfy socks & slippers, my reading chair & blanket, and most importantly, my snacks ready & waiting. See you in 12hrs!

5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟
This was a fun parody that has already aged, but still stands up. I say aged because BlackBerry is a thing of the past. But I love that the kids are playing Angry Birds, and listening to Eminem. A great parody that is fun for anyone who might be a bit to addicted to their iPad.

I read Goodnight Moon to my boys many times over the years, so I laughed when I saw this techie parody of it. So much fun! :)

Today‘s #gratitude30 prompt is #technology. I am grateful for my iPad and amazon for letting me free digital downloads of cheesy romance novels. This important when I need to shut the brain off and just have a fantasy!

Looking for iPad case recommendations. Especially if you read on your iPad. Thanks in advance.

Lcsmcat Not a specific case, but I like one that will fold all the way back so I can hold it in one hand. 6y
Lcsmcat When you choose one, post a photo so we can see! There are so many cute ones these days. 6y

DGRachel Oh no! 😱 6y
Weaponxgirl @DGRachel I‘ve got a new one now so all is fine now 6y
DGRachel I avoided getting one for years, and now that I have one, I don‘t know how I would ever live without it. #AppleAddict 6y

For @DGRachel and @tournevis

My duck taped iPad cover. At least it's pretty.

tournevis Aaaawwwwwww ❤️ 6y
TricksyTails I love it! Tokidoki can make even duct tape tres chic! 😆♥️ 6y
TricksyTails Seriously I want this for my iPad. How to do? 6y
LibrarianRyan @TricksyTails buy the sticker at BN. They come 3 to a pack. For your base use colored duct tape. Colored. Not printed. The printed ducktape is not as strong. It should only be used for accent. 6y
TricksyTails Cool beans! Thank you! 6y

There was another quote referencing Eminem, but given I'm a Netflix fiend, this will suffice. Great picture book on the dependency of technology of this age. However, technology know how is a must in a growing technological classroom so here's a lesson plan on how to use iPads that ends with this book: http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/preview.cgi?LPid=35742 #ucflae3414sp17 #eminemisthegoat #ipostedthiswithmyipad #tehe #dependent

CharlotteG I think it is so funny to see technology making an appearance even in books! So wild to me. 7y
DrSpalding A variant of Goodnight Moon that so many children can relate to! 7y
LaurenMcl I added this one to my Amazon shopping cart because who doesn't love a parody!? 7y

Got into hour 16 for #24in48, and then life distracted me. I did finish one audiobook that I had been nursing for a while, dove into a much more interesting audiobook, and read The Underground Railroad. Plus some news here and there. Tried the BookOut app and audiocoloring. Ahead on my 2017 reading goal, so completely positive experience for this readathon newbie.
