PBS KIDS: Wednesday #gno Twitter Party on Educational Games on the Go
Schedules are busy and days are full of balancing work with family activities. Sometimes it’s difficult for families to take a breather from their hectic schedules. If your family is the on-the-go type, how do you fit learning into your busy schedules?
PBS KIDS added two new apps to their collection of educational mobile content, designed to help kids ages 3 to 5 build critical math skills. The apps, All Aboard the Dinosaur Train! for iPad and Dinosaur Train Camera Catch! for iPhone, recently launched on the App Store. They are based on the popular DINOSAUR TRAIN series produced by The Jim Henson Company,
These apps are part of a suite of DINOSAUR TRAIN games available on the PBS KIDS Lab website (PBSKIDS.org/lab). Combined with online and interactive whiteboard games, these new apps help build a learning experience for kids that take place across multiple platforms, all with the goal of accelerating learning.
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) are providing these two new apps at no cost to Head Start centers, local PBS stations, and other organizations in underserved communities nationwide. The apps will be downloaded onto devices that families have access to in local Head Start centers and other community organizations.
