Sat, 18 Jul 2009 05:19:00 -0700 [気になるアプリ] ABCs with Kittens (Education) [英語学習アプリ] http://touchwith.posterous.com/-abcs-with-kittens-education http://touchwith.posterous.com/-abcs-with-kittens-education

Help teach your child how to read, write and speak the alphabet with the assistance of kittens. The pictures and interaction with the kittens will help children enjoy the material which helps keep them focused while they learn.


How it works:

1) Each letter has a kitten associated with it. Each letter is given in uppercase and lowercase.

2) If you click on the letter, the letter will be spoken in a clear spoken voice.

3) You may interact with the kitten. If you click on the kitten, they will either meow or purr.

4) You can go through the alphabet in order, or go through randomly "flash card style".


Overall it is very easy to use and it's designed with the idea that the child will actually hold and play with it, rather than the parent holding it and showing children the interactions.

Enjoy!

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:20:00 -0700 [読んだ] FPN-TED.comは、最高レベルの英語学習コンテンツでは? [iPhone/iPod touchアプリもあり!] http://touchwith.posterous.com/-fpn-tedcom-iphoneipod-touch http://touchwith.posterous.com/-fpn-tedcom-iphoneipod-touch
TEDは、世界の超一流の人物が、年に1回集まり、開かれるカンファレンスです。

その講演ビデオが、ネット上に無料で公開されているのですが、この動画が、「英語学習の教材としての要件を確保」しながら、「2009年の今、話を聞くべき人物の、話を聞くべきアイデア」を紹介しているという二つの要素を高い次元で両立させています。

これが、いろんな意味で「最高」レベルの英語学習コンテンツのように思えてきました。「話す人物」も最高レベル。「話される内容」も最高レベル。講演後のスピーチに対する「取り扱い」も・・・。

面白そうなのでiPod touchに落としていつでもどこでもTED.comで英語学習できないか調べました。

そしたら、ありましたTEDアプリ。でもサンプル画像を見るかぎりではWi-Fi環境でないと視聴できないかも。

Webサイトでは動画をiTunesに落とすリンクがあるので、オフラインで観たい場合はそちらからダウンロードするのがよさそうですね。
