Innovative digital learning platform allows parents, teachers and students to access K-12 content on their iPod.
Durham, NC, April 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Modality, the leader in transforming and distributing premium, branded learning content for personal handheld media players, has released a new suite of elementary education titles for young learners. These innovative, highly-visual products are part of the Raybook (www.raybook.com) family of mobile learning tools and cover basic math facts, vocabulary, states and capitals, telling time, and early education fundamentals such as the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors. All titles can be downloaded to iPods, creating an entertaining, digital learning environment that appeals to younger kids.
“The elementary education titles give kids a similar experience to traditional paper-based flash cards, but in a more portable and fun format,” explains Robert Pleasants, Ph.D., Director of Education at Modality. “They deliver engaging educational content to a device that is already part of many students’ everyday entertainment, making it more enjoyable and reinforcing fundamental learning concepts when they’re not in school.”
The following elementary titles are now available for purchase and download at www.raybook.com:
Math Facts: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
U.S. Geography: States and Capitals
Telling Time
Early Education: Alphabet, Numbers, Shapes and Colors
Vocabulary Power: Grades 1-3 (from Play Bac Publishing USA)
Brain Quest Grades 1-7 (from Workman Publishing Co.)
The new titles are part of Raybook’s growing K-12 library, which allows teachers, parents and students to add a layer of digital learning to traditional curriculum. “The concept of mobile learning will not only encourage students to thrive within the classroom, but it will support their education on the go,” according to Pleasants. “Creating a learning platform on a popular gadget such as the iPod generates a lot of excitement for children to learn.”
