Students can save their animal creations,
along with a title and story, under their own names in "My Switcheroos." They can return to the animal later and continue working
on the story. Your students can use the Switch Zoo app to create
a class menagerie!

The Switch
Zoo app provides an off-line source of information
for reports and stories. Students can read an in-depth Animal
Profile for each animal they select. Facts include scientific name,
life span, habitat, diet, predators, and facts about the animal's
perceptions, behavior and other characteristics. Or students can
choose Fast Facts mode to read short facts about all of the animals
in the current combination simultaneously.

animal.
