The app is targeted for use with K–12 students in the classroom, media
center, and at home with age-appropriate and curriculum content that
develops the skills for career, college, and civic success. The app is
free and includes free sample content to allow anyone to download the
app and experience the potential of StrataLogica.
Launched in 2009, StrataLogica continues to be a leader of innovation in
the 21st century digital classroom. As the iPad continues to
proliferate in education, the StrataLogica app for iPad demonstrates
Herff Jones | Nystrom’s commitment to creating immersive and effective
learning experiences across multiple platforms.
The release of the app for iPad puts that power directly in the hands of
the teacher and students, allowing them to tap, swipe, and pinch to
explore and learn. Interacting with the world through StrataLogica
becomes a very personal educational experience for the user. The
availability of the app for iPad is expected to expand the use of
StrataLogica in both the classroom and in the home.
“For the past several years StrataLogica has been providing relevant and
engaging layers of geography, history, and earth science content in
classrooms around the world. Given the growing popularity of the iPad in
schools around the globe, it was only natural for us to create an app
that would allow teachers and students to interact with StrataLogica’s
layers of learning,” said Don Rescigno, director of marketing, Herff
Jones | Nystrom. “These content layers are engaging and target the
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in
History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.”
“We are very proud of our partnership with Herff Jones | Nystrom in the
continued design and development of this breakthrough digital learning
tool,” said Scott Judy, vice president of user experience and creative
services at Roundarch Isobar. “StrataLogica was always designed to be a
touch-based, highly engaging experience that draws students into their
world. The iPad is the perfect delivery vehicle for StrataLogica, and
the application takes advantage of the iPad’s features in order to
elevate the StrataLogica experience to a new level. I can’t wait to see
students around the world using it in and out of the classroom.”
Herff Jones | Nystrom will introduce the StrataLogica app for iPad at
the Florida
Education and Technology Conference in Orlando, FL, and the BETT
Show in London, UK.
The StrataLogica
app for iPad can be downloaded for free at the Apple App Store.
