Be Smart Kids

Be Smart Kids is an application for early learners. The application has four different games build in. The first is fun with balloons. In this game, students select different colors of balloons to be displayed on the screen. The balloons blow up, and then Mr. Clown flies the balloon. The next is ABC fun A-E. In this game a student chooses a letter from A-E. This plays a video of something the letter starts with and how to trace the letter. The next is Mary and the Lambs. In this game, the application sings a song to the student, and the student can point at the words as they are read. The last is an animal matching game called critter shuffle.

I would not use this game in the classroom. This game was overall very boring and not very interactive at all. This application is to be used with very young children, but that does not mean that this game should not be interactive.  It could be easily changed to more fit the needs of students. For example, I would really like to see in the ABC fun game for students to trace the letter instead of the letter being traced in a video. In my classroom, I will use an alternative application.
