== Learning with I Know My ABCs ==
 
While far from contructionist, this activity does provide a mechanism for learning the alphabet.
 
 
 
== Modifying I Know My ABCs ==
 
 
 
As of Version 1, only a Spanish version is included. In order to add other languages, we need:
 
* audio recordings of the letter names
 
* audio recordings of the picture names
 
* perhaps additional pictures, in order ensure there is a picture for each letter of the alphabet
 
 
 
There is a language-specific database file maintained in ./lessons/??/alphabet.csv where ?? is the 2-digit language code. The format of the CSV file is:
 
 
 
{| border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border: 1px solid white; border-collapse: collapse; background: #e3e4e5;"
 
|-style="background:#787878; color: white;"
 
! letter !! word !! color (#RRGGBB)!! image file !! sound file (image) !! sound file (letter)
 
|-
 
|R || (r)atón || #F08020 || raton.png || raton.ogg || r.ogg
 
|}
 
 
 
== Extending I Know My ABCs ==
 
 
 
It would, of course, be fun to let the learner add their own pictures and sound recordings.
 
 
 
== Where to report problems ==
 
You are welcome to leave comments/suggestions on the [[Talk:Activities/IKnowMyABCs]] page.
