Turtle Software makes interactive Powerpoint presentations for multicultural children. So our directors thought, why not incorporate some Super Nanny ideas in a software product (PowerPoint slide show) to help make it convenient for mothers to apply Jo Frost techniques?
La Di La Dah has manufactured a number of (PowerPoint) laptop managers for use in homeschool instruction. (Read about them in Quirky, Kinky, Tacky Homemade Laptop Managers For Home School by La Di La Dah) These managers produce instant virtual learning environments with easily accessible, ready-made educational materials. In most cases, the "manager" or slide-show presentation also provides a familiar and entertaining interface or tool for the insertion of the parent’s own text or lesson for the child.
The screenshot above is from the presentation, "Super Boss," recommended to members of the online Email Pre-School Club. Join now! which features a "star chart" (as used by Super Nanny) and which allows the young K-2 viewer to customize a cartoon character by dragging and dropping an item of clothing apparel onto her. Then the young child can view the cartoon character in slide show mode, where the character becomes animated and suggests an activity to match her outfit.
It also features 2 virtual lesson books with 12 pages each of interactive lessons (of various levels of difficulty). This presentation, full of interactive lessons and short video clips, can be ordered by mail from Regsoft.com for $28.99:
