The StarPhoenix: The Fly PenTop Computer is the latest LeapFrog Enterprises product for 8 -13 year-olds. This is the same company that brought us the Leapster hand-held gaming and learning tool.
However, this is no simple pen -- or paper. The pen, slightly larger than an ordinary Bic, is also a talking computer.
The paper is, well, almost magic.
Get this. Take the Fly Pen, draw the numbers zero through 9 plus the appropriate symbols, and presto -- a calculator. Way cool! The creators of this product have made interactive teaching fun.
To underline the point, let's talk about the Spelling module. This comes with grade-specific words for the user. In this case, we're looking at the Grade 4 level. We'll pick a selection of words, use the Fly Pen and write them on the paper provided. This is done by using the pen as a basic writing tool, but also as a computer-generated teacher. Tap the paper with the ink end and it tells you the instructions to follow.
Learning was never this 'cool' [The StarPhoenix]
