It's got little video clips and interactive materials all built online. The videos have that Issac dude with the big nose that's so full of energy.
What's your impression of it?
It can be good, but it can also be bad. I am disgusted by some of the little errors that crop up. "Yum Yum" spelled as "Yam Yam", for example. And lessons where the entire goal of the page, and 10 second interactive flash video to go with it, is to circle a car (as if they don't know what a car is).
The kids mostly enjoy it, but I question what they're learning, given what seems like such a scattergun approach to lesson planning. They also provide books that are as thick as a Bible to go along with it (but we never use them). The series is somehow endorsed by the Korean government.
I wonder how much the school paid for all of that crap.
Oh well, makes Kindy teaching easier! |

It sounds significantly better than my time spent with Sha Sha a few years ago! |

Shoot man, every fool on the block uses Sha-Sha. Sounds like Isaac with his big nosed energetic self figured he could make some bones from taping all the action he gets from Sha-Sha. |
