[Web4lib] Learning through interactivity

[Elder, James]

Good Morning,

I wanted to invite everyone to take a look at a new digital product
we're debuting here at the Orange County Library System in Orlando, FL.
It's called "Alphabet Bites" and it's an interactive learning experience
for children (and parents too!).  It serves as an online counterpart to
an in-person Children's Program series held throughout the library
system.

 

You can find it right here:

Using audio, pictures, animations and interactivity, we're able to
provide an outlet for children to learn their alphabet. Each letter has
several sections including; Listen, Play, Read, Watch, and Do. Each of
these sections corresponds to the individual letter and the activity.
Listen is an exercise in listening for the sounds associated with the
letter, Play is a short animation, Read is a book that goes along with
the letter, Watch is an animated story, and Do are activities they can
do with their parents.

 

I'd love to hear feedback!
