Brain Quest for iPod® Now Available
America’s best-selling educational Q&A activity allows students to access the information they need on the iPod.
Durham, NC, April 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Modality, the leader in transforming and distributing premium, branded learning and lifestyle content for personal handheld media players has released Brain Quest for iPod, the latest version of the number-one selling educational activity by Workman Publishing Co. Brain Quest for iPod is now available for purchase in select Apple retail stores around the country and at Raybook.com. Brain Quest for iPod works on all iPod nanos, the iPod classic, and the fifth-generation iPod.
Brain Quest for iPod (list price $29.95) challenges kids on the what they need to know, when they need to know it, by allowing them to select curriculum-based content that matches the grade level (1 – 7) they want to master. With questions designed by award-winning educators, Brain Quest for iPod is a portable learning tool that can be played alone, with friends, or with parents. The new offering extends the Brain Quest product line, which iVillage.com called "life-saving, sanity-saving, and mama-saving." Sesame Street Magazine named it one of the Top 9 Products for kids, and Money magazine considers it one of the 50 best values in the USA.
Hot Product, Cool Format
“Brain Quest for iPod gives kids a similar experience to the paper-based flash cards, but with added portability and interactivity,” explains Mark Williams, Modality’s founder and CEO. “It delivers fun educational content on a device that is already part of their everyday enjoyment, providing opportunities for young learners to practice basic facts on the go. This keeps them in the learning zone.”
“Buy the box and pop the disc in,” Williams explains. “Choose a grade to access that content and the title opens automatically. Then just download the content to your iPod and you’re ready to go. Brain Quest for iPod is easy to install, easy to pack, easy to use – and educational.”
