Kominote SE (Comunità) Selezione Tongue Books Madre da Haiti

Kominote se (Community is) is a wonderful children's book, with built in testing, written by the Third Grade class at the Atrium School in Watertown, Massachusetts, USA.

This application was developed by Dimitri from Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Dimitri is an intern in the Development Internship component of ACP's Open Educational Resources Development Program (http://aconnectedplanet.org/projects/intern-project).

The book is part of a collection from Mother Tongue Books which is a program at the Matènwa Community Learning Center (http://matenwaclc.org/) on Lagonav. Mother Tongue Books and the Matènwa Community Learning Center are supported by the Friends of Matènwa (http://www.friendsofmatenwa.org/).

Kominote se (Community is) was originally written in English and has been translated into French and Haitian Creole. Audio in all three languages is provided in the application. The Matènwa Community Learning Center provided the Haitian Creole recordings for the application.

A Connected Planet Foundation (ACP) converted the book, developed and built in testing into the application. Virtually no applications exist in Haitian Creole. So ACP has started building its own applications. ACP’s focus is on education apps for young Haitian children. Look for ACP’s other applications about numbers, colors & shapes, fruits & vegetables and animals. ACP’s staff and volunteers include professionals from the Academic, Education, Computer Science, Business, Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Speech Language Pathology sectors.
