Tic-Tac-Spell Published

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Tic-Tac-Spell has been published.  Congratulations Dustin!  However, we found two bugs after publication and will be fixing them within the week.  Currently it does not tell the student what the correct spelling if a student spells the word incorrect.

In addition, to the update we are already working on adding word families to the spelling game and this will be release by July 2011.  We will be using the word families at Enchanted Learning.

Score: New Submission (Tic-Tac-Spell) and Approval

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Clam Match has been approved.  Download on iTunes.  Congratulations, what do you think?

Tic-Tac-Spell was submitted today.  The app was created by Dustin Lieske, UMW Computer Science graduate 2011 and artwork by Chelsea Mageland (UMW Junior).

Tic-Tac-Spell takes the classic game children love to play and adds a spelling twist to help children learn how to spell, all for free. In Tic-Tac-Spell kids learn to spell words from the Dolch Word List.  The Dolch word list is a list of commonly used English words which children need to recognize in order to achieve reading fluency.

Tic-Tac-Spell allows people to play against the computer.  Moves by the computer are randomized to ensure that the game will not keep making the same moves over and over again.  In addition, words are randomly asked, so each game is unique.  Tic-Tac-Spell uses over 60 words from the pre-primer, primer, kindergarten and first grade Dolch list.

Currently the game is suited for preschooler, kindergarteners and first graders.  It is fun to play and you learn along the way.

How to Play

  • Select the level of difficulty
  • Select your symbol
  • Touch a square
  • Listen for the word
  • Spell the word correctly get the square
  • Spell the word incorrectly and you do not get the square.
  • Continue the Game until you or the computer has won the game

Free and Fun.

Clam Match

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

Help me, I lost all of my clams!  Each clam starts closed and if you touch the clam then it will reveal its letter.  Each clam contains either an uppercase letter or a lowercase letter.  You will only be able to open 2 clams at a time.  If you match the uppercase letter with its lowercase letter then the clams will disappear and you will have a match!  If the letters are not a match, then the clams will close shut. If you match all ten correctly, then you win!

Game Created by Bryan Keelon, graduating senior.
