scramble.png Watching my kids use the iPad has given me a lot of great ideas for how I can make my own material more engaging for children, especially small kids who are ripe for second language acquisition. This is not completely polished yet, but it reflects many of the lessons I have learned. I'll be using this type of template for every single lesson in my kids section, and they should be live by August as once I perfect the template I can apply it to all of my existing lessons. It will be the first activity in every unit, so that the initial experience with the vocabulary one helps kids really get a feel for the words.

I’ve decided to take the plunge and try to port a good portion of our content to mobile devices. Spanish for Android, Spanish for iPad, Spanish for Nook, etc! This may be a bit ambitious as there is certainly a learning curve in porting your materials to new formats, although Adobe’s new Flex and Flash tools can be a big help, as they contain ways to publish your materials directly to Android and iOs, which is what Apple iPhones and iPads use.
My first endeavor is a simple little app, my Spanish Alphabet for Kids. The first lady who tried installing it on her phone apparently couldn’t, so I do warn you that this is still a bit experimental right now. Users have to have the Adobe Air 2.6 for Android installed, which I fear is still not as widespread as it could be! You an check this out in the Android Market by clicking here: Spanish Alphabet for Kids. Here is a screenshot:
