PROBLEMS:
1) Glorified Work Sheets. Just give them printed sheets of your stupid boring activities. To improve them give the kids crayons and scissors and have them draw on the blank side of that sheet of paper!
2) Computer Adaptive to learn letters SHOULD be learn the letters in your name NEVER START WITH A otherwise. A is a vowel and it extreemly different rules in terms of name and sound.
3) The FONTS are STUPID for a. Instead of the easy to write circle and line a it is the type writer a.
My dream is to get educational apps and programs created that are actually Developmentally Appropriate and actually better because they are on the computer not just digital analogies of real world things AKA don't show a maraca and have the kids shake the tablet just give the kids the real thing.
My firends who could invest believe the market is saturated with ABC Mouse and company. There must be a way.
My favorite app for kids: Alien Assignment from the Fred Rogers Foundation https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alien-assignment/id531359578... it appears to be abandoned wear and shows its age but the principle of the app is great. The children follow directions to and take pictures to the directions of something round or blue or that holds water and then give the tablet to an adult to check your work.
