Baby Wow! The CD-Rom for infants
Learn more before you buy...
Baby Wow! is divided up among a series of activities.
Below are some images from the CD-ROM. These images
are far from all this educational software contains,
but they will give you a sense of how the different
activities look and work.
The menu for the lessons and games is always available.
Once you press the menu icon, a very simple menu
appears where the parent or teacher can get access
to everything in the product. The activities are
all one or two mouse clicks away.
Some Screen Shots: The Baby Wow! Menu
 The
menu was designed to put the parent or teacher in control.
Activities are easy to find and control.
Parents and teachers can choose how long the child
plays, what activities they play with, and even
the language that the product speaks: Baby Wow!
speaks 8 languages in all.
Teaching your baby or toddler cause and effect
 In
one of the simplest activities, children make a bee move by
pressing the keyboard.
Every time they press, a small piece of classical
music is played or a positive comment like "good
job" is stated.
Baby's First Words
Vocabulary is introduced with simple images devoid of any
distraction. Baby Wow! speaks 8 languages:
- English
- Spanish
- Italian
- German
- French
- Portuguese
- Chinese
- Japanese
Learning Opposites - In and Out - Near and Far
 The
imagery becomes more complex in later activities.
The photography is brought to life to show "near
and far." Every time your child presses the keyboard,
an object moves farther or closer to the foreground.
In this example, the beach ball floats down the
river and back again.
Animated sequences let children make things go into
other things and out again. This lets them learn
about the notion of "in and out" as a consequence
of their actions.
What is it?
 In
"What is it?" a child's presses reveal a picture
one square at a time.
Every keyboard or mouse press generates a tone so
children make their own music until the picture
is uncovered and the accompanying word is played.
In this case, the word is "lion."
The images show animals in a natural setting as
much as possible.
Counting
 For
counting, an object appears every time they press
the computer keyboard or click the mouse.
Rather than emphasizing the actual number, the software
emphasizes the notion of increasing mass, i.e. the
object fills more and more of the screen.
This design is an example of how the product was
impacted by input from researchers.
The Parts of the Body
 Teach
about the parts of the body by going on a short
adventure with 3 children.
This is the type of activity that has not been possible
to do in CD-ROMs based on cartoons and illustration.
Learning Journeys
 Children
explore vocabulary by going on "learning journeys"
where they see objects and hear sounds in their
native environments.
