Social Learning Software Startup Presents at ISTE 2012 in San Diego
Brighten Learning to share new interactive social skills development program with educators.
Brighten Learning, a developer of interactive social learning software, will demonstrate its new social learning app, The Social Express™ at the 33rd annual ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) conference and exposition June 24-27 in San Diego.
The Social Express is a new 16-lesson social learning software program for students between the ages of five and 12 years. It uses interactive video modeling, movie quality animation, socially valid dialog, and original characters that students find engaging. Each one of the 30 interactive scenes contains teachable moments that assist educators to reinforce social skills learning.
According to President Jon Cornick, “Brighten Learning team is excited to meet and share ideas with the tech savvy educators that are coming from across the globe to participate in ISTE!”
“Brighten Learning will show educators how easy it is to use our social learning software program, project it on a classroom whiteboard, and pause the program when needed. The pause feature makes it easy for educators to discuss the social situation choices available to the characters in each scene of The Social Express,” Cornick added.
Educators in a wide variety of environments and populations use The Social Express. Students enjoy and request the program because of its realistic social dialog, Hollywood-quality animation, and interactive components.
Based on feedback from educators, The Social Express works equally well for students with a wide variety of levels of social skill deficits. Students with autism, Asperger’s, ADHD as well as more typical children experiencing social learning challenges will benefit from interacting with the program in a classroom environment.
The company’s ISTE12 booth (#5226) will provide iPads with demonstration versions of The Social Express social learning software app.
