Annc: Rainbow Web a Rev CD-ROM

Wed, 18 May 2005 09:37:21 -0700

Just thought I would put out another product that was Metacard/Revolution created! Using revolution allowed the costs of the CD-ROM to be kept way down so that the book could be sold with the CD-ROM included for less than $20! A whole series is planned and the next two are in production! The CD-ROM has simple activities, games and content that were quick and simple to do with rev. The CD-ROM will also go on sale next month by itself. This is a really fun series to work on since we get to do fun story book stuff, games and great background content materials all together! Nice to really do 'edutainment' (how i hate that term!) right! The book artwork came out wonderfully also, mainly b/w graphite with some hints of color that really makes the illustrations have feeling and also turns on the imagination so much more than the full color stuff.

Description:

The Rainbow Web is the first book in the 'Web to Whales' series of picture books with educational CD-ROMs.� The set offers a complete thematic unit for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents. The fully illustrated picture book tells the delightful story of a spider that spins a rainbow web. The story engages a child's curiosity about spiders. Could a spider spin a colored web? Do spiders eat berries?

Illustrations start out in black and white, introducing each rainbow color as the story progresses.� Lessons and activities on primary and secondary colors are included on the CD-ROM. The companion CD-ROM teaches the science behind the story. Students learn about real-life spiders through narrated lessons and interactive games and activities. The interactive CD-ROM also includes reproducible activity pages that are intended as a follow-up to the lessons. Cross-curricular activities in reading, math, science, and art are offered, as well as comprehension questions to accompany the book.
