Tipitap Selected To Speak At LAUNCHEdu Conference

Online, June 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - LAUNCHEdu will be held June 12th & 13th, 2012 in Mountain View, California.

"We feel privileged to be presenting at LAUNCHEdu. It's amazing to be at an event that aims to focus on how to improve education and the way kids learn," says Rodrigo Benadon, co-founder of Tipitap.

When asked about traditional education metrics, Benadon replies, "It's crucial that we begin to define what it means to be a child growing up in the 21st century. The technological inroads that we've made need to be harnessed to create a more rewarding and productive educational experience for children."

Tipitap has been creating educational apps for young children since the launch of the App Store. An industry veteran, they're committed to education and their mission is to help children develop their cognitive, social and motor abilities using touch-screen devices.

Some of the discussion topics at LAUNCHEdu will include: How to use tablets to foster learning, making apps both educational as well as safe and kid-friendly, and ways to make education more social.

Tipitap's award-winning apps have been lauded by both parents and educators. Color&Draw is considered to be the best coloring and drawing app for children, iDiary is the first journaling app made for kids and Booksy is the only learning-to-read app that records kids voices while they're reading to help measure reading performance.

"The curriculums for Kindergarten have barely changed over the last 100 years. We want to be at the forefront of developing new forms and methods for teaching children, that can be used both in the classroom and at home," says Benadon.
