IIC Competition Videos

The video I enjoyed the most from the IIC Competition videos was the "Lit2" video for the application on the i pad for early literacy. There were many things i liked about this idea. First of all i appreciated thier use of repition in teaching a child. There were many different ways in which a child could learn the target words. First the child read it. Then they heard it. Then they could select it and type in the missing words themselves. This game also seems fun for a child and let's face sometimes the only way to get a child to participate in something is to make it fun! I also like that the students downloaded the material from apple sine the I pad is not out yet. However the down side of that is that there is no way to see EXACTLY how it will look. It seems like these girls put a lot of thought, time and effort into thier project and I was very impressed by their presentation.
