Hi all,

Gonzalo Odiard came up with a really neat way to use the art4apps 
image library in Memorize. You match each image to its written 
version. It's a great way to practice a second language or introduce 
beginning readers to a first. Remember, Memorize has a text-to-speech 
engine so it can read the words out loud, too. Super-cool.


We've done this the long way in Haiti before (kids take pictures of 
objects, I write out the English / French words for them), and 
everyone's always been really enthusiastic about it.


Problem is, the default thing that comes up when you launch a new 
instance of Memorize is math flashcards. So, everyone knows it as the 
"math activity."


I'm currently putting together a literacy-focused build; we'd like to 
add a Memorize that opens with a word-picture demo to it.


If anyone's available to help making the needed modifications to 
Memorize, please let me know. I have a feeling that others in the 
community will find this version of it useful. There are other places 
you can go to practice addition (+1 to TuxMath) but there aren't as 
many tools available for language learners.

Sounds like a nice GCI project.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Memorize Mod

[Gonzalo Odiard]

One alternative is by default not select any game, and show a canvas
with cards with the games to select:
* Additions
* Letters
* Sounds
... and in the case Art4Apps is installed:
* English
* Haitian
* Français
* Spanish

If some of the languages is selected, show the second level
games as cards in the canvas (right now in the games palette)

(There are a class SvgCard that display a card with content)

In this way, the user should select a game to start.

Anyway, if a user select a game saved in the journal, these screens are
ignored and the game is opened.

I don't have time to work on this right now, but would accept patches.

[Sugar-devel] Memorize Mod

[Sora Edwards-Thro]

Hi all,

Gonzalo Odiard came up with a really neat way to use the art4apps image
library in Memorize. You match each image to its written version. It's a
great way to practice a second language or introduce beginning readers to a
first. Remember, Memorize has a text-to-speech engine so it can read the
words out loud, too. Super-cool.

We've done this the long way in Haiti before (kids take pictures of
objects, I write out the English / French words for them), and everyone's
always been really enthusiastic about it.

Problem is, the default thing that comes up when you launch a new instance
of Memorize is math flashcards. So, everyone knows it as the "math
activity."

I'm currently putting together a literacy-focused build; we'd like to add a
Memorize that opens with a word-picture demo to it.

If anyone's available to help making the needed modifications to Memorize,
please let me know. I have a feeling that others in the community will find
this version of it useful. There are other places you can go to practice
addition (+1 to TuxMath) but there aren't as many tools available for
language learners.
