SoundSteps, interactive and educational material for play by NYOYN

,

"SoundSteps is an interactive sound concept whereby a collection of 10 mats react by means of sound when a chils steps on them. Children can, of course, also jump on the mats, sit on them or press down on them. It is up to the children to choose which sounds they want to hear or which game they wish to play. The sounds on offer include e.g. musical instruments, (piano), thematic sounds (scary sounds, means of transport, animals) or games such as 'musical chairs' and 'maths'. SoundSteps does more than just offer a range of 'ready-made' games but stimulates children's imagination and creativity.

The wide range of playing activities means that the SoundSteps product can also be used in schools to support the curriculum: language, maths, cooperation, motor skills, musical development, etc. The maths are wireless, which means they can easily be used in conjunction with existing playing materials."

My Online Poster

I prepared an online poster about "Mobile Learning". As all we know, nowadays people have been using it anywhere and at any time. Firstly, we can easily say that learning with mobile devices are so convenient and flexible. Secondly, it offers all kinds of information with a wide range of diversity, for this reason people prefer it most of the time. You can reach all the different information at the same time even anywhere. It both saves time and helps you to understand better what you want to learn. You can compare the information you get from different sites and shape it in your mind. We can also say that it fits many different learning styles regarding individual differences. Since it gives you a chance to learn on your own filtering the information according to your needs. You do not need to stick to one style , you can create your own learning style. Thirdly, it improves social learning providing the interaction with the other learners or experts. Lastly, the most attractive feature of mobile learning is to access information easily. You can find and track information via Wİ-fi.
