The i Learn With apps include:

  •     i Learn With – Planet Boing! HD is the centerpiece for the entire i Learn With program. Boing’s funky alien home planet is an incredibly engaging free play environment filled with music, interactivity, and bright, colorful animations. Here, kids create cute Boing aliens by selecting different characters, outfits, accessories and have fun with them on their planet. Using iPad’s camera, kids can use real backgrounds or put themselves in the scene. The planet is a rewards zone where kids can have fun with all the rewards they have earned from completing game levels. Within Planet Boing there is also a Parents Center where parents have access to a personalized tracking system that shows the progress of each child in the various educational games from each of the apps in the i Learn With program.
  •     i Learn With Boing: Ice land adventures! HD features three adaptive, self-leveling literacy games that teach children about letters, phonics and spelling. While practicing phonics, children can even choose to play in a two-player mode for parent-child or peer-to-peer game play. As players progress through game levels, they can earn up to 27 reward items to use in the i Learn With – Planet Boing! App. Includes Parent Center.
  •     i Learn With Poko: Seasons and Weather! HD helps children 3 to 6 learn to identify different weather situations in various seasons and teach them appropriate clothing and activities.

  •     i Learn With Poko: Fun Counting and Addition! HD helps children explore numbers and discover additions with Poko and his friends in a gentle introduction to math. Each level teaches children how to count and add different objects, with increasing levels of complexity. Includes Parent Center.

“As a teacher, I have been using the first i Learn With apps in the classroom and have received an outstanding response from the children,” adds Andrea Gardner, instructional technology teacher. “It was a pleasure to participate in the development of these new apps, making sure they meet national standards in education and that each level was developmentally appropriate for children 3 to 6 years old.
