Introducing iLearn4Free: educational apps for little learners - 8 views

Maggie Verster on 26 Nov 11English is a foreign language for 95% of the world's children. Yet almost all digital literacy tools for young children are written in English. Mobile learning is therefore out of reach for all but those very few children prepared to start learning a foreign language before they have mastered their own. Isabelle Duston, a self-professed "serial entrepreneur" decided to tackle the problem by creating educational applications that will bridge the digital language divide without losing cultural diversity in the learning process. Her iLearn4Free venture is developing apps in several languages for teaching little ones how to read in their native language.
