The nsquared education pack at CEFPI OZ

Lat week we had a great week at the CEFPI Australia conference in Sydney.
The nsquared team was there with a Microsoft Surface table demonstrating the nsquared education pack for Microsoft Surface.

Here are some photos we took of the event.

On the first day we had a students from two different schools visit the event.

The nsquared paint application is always very popular.

Learning to spell can always be a challenge, nsquared letters can make it fun and competitive.

Proud to be a sponsor of the collaborative learning space.

nsquared education pack updates

If you have been paying attention you will have noticed that the nsquared education pack website was updated 2 weeks ago. With the growth of the iPad and more schools starting to install Windows 7 touch screens we have been busy building our multi-user educational applications for both platforms.

Our iPad applications have recently all been upgraded. Now any new content we make available will synchronize with the iPad application the next time the application is run. We are creating new curriculum based content all the time and expect to have updates out each month with new activities.

Learning Money and Maths with nsquared coin swap

Money is a central theme in our society, and understanding it is a useful life-skill to acquire. To add to the nsquared education pack, we've now got nsquared coin swap, ready to go. It's accompanied by an updated teacher tool, too. The app supports different currencies including Australian, UK, US and European Union (euro) coins so that it can be used in a number of different countries. No doubt there will be content packs to follow that will add to the range of currencies in the future. The aim of the game is to teach players to recognise currency denominations and their relative values. Designed for up to four players, the game challenges you to increase your funds by either swapping their coins with the amount on offer in the centre of the game board, or by keeping the coins you've already got. Take a quick look at the video below to get a better idea of what the team here has done.
