HUGE News! Find the Best Educational Apps NOW!


Balfire-Labs-Logo-RGB-300pxToday’s the day we’ve all been waiting for, so I hope you’ll forgive my overflowing giddiness! Yes, today, my new business, Balefire Labs, launches!!

Parents and teachers, we can help you find the educational apps that provide the best instruction for your kids. By subscribing to the Balefire Labs service, you will have access to more than 1200 reviews of PreK-12 educational apps for iOS. We use science-based, objective review criteria and, because we apply the same criteria to all apps, you can compare apps directly to one another in our comparison charts!

So I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support as I’ve made this journey as an entrepreneur…well, an EDUpreneur, really. Many of you have sent kind, encouraging notes and it has meant the world to me. I couldn’t have done this without my friends and colleagues (and I count you all among them) cheering me on!

Here’s how you can continue to help!

I definitely can’t do this alone. I’m on a mission to help parents and teachers navigate this crazy world of educational apps, and further, to help kids get access to apps that actually teach! Please join me on this adventure! And THANKS!

    Congrats, Karen! An objective app review process like Balefire’s that focuses on features that actually relate to learning outcomes is sorely needed and long overdue in the app space. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out.
