For those who have iPads, there is a free app as well by the same name. Essentially it "scrapes" a number of reliable web resources for information on a topic of choice. Then it puts the information together in what looks like a "Trade Book" found in the Non-Fiction part of your library, filled with engaging pictures and short summarized pieces of information. Finally, it reads the article to the user. This is a tool that could help students not to simply copy and paste wikipedia articles as they are preparing research.

The creator, Andy Fine, has a master's degree in teaching, and writes, "SlimeKids was created to provide students with a playful, easy-to-use interface through which they could learn about and access valuable online resources. The website is designed to self-motivate students to make their own choices and judgements about what is most useful for them. One important aspect of SlimeKids is that it helps students to explore their interest in books and reading, which has been the main goal of my career. SlimeKids is an interactive website through which students can read, search, watch videos and play language arts-related games."
