Comments on: An Interview with Elizabeth O. Dulemba http://www.thehappyaccident.net/an-interview-with-elizabeth-o-dulemba/ Greg Pincus talks social media and happy accidents (and sometimes chocolate) Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:30:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Greg Pincus http://www.thehappyaccident.net/an-interview-with-elizabeth-o-dulemba/comment-page-1/#comment-649 Greg Pincus Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:13:25 +0000 http://www.thehappyaccident.net/?p=1336#comment-649 Thanks for your thoughts, y'all. I think we'll be seeing a lot of variations on Apps (and for the Droid, too) and ebooks and whatever comes from the Apple tablet and and and. I hope publishers also try out all these things, though it's much easier to do experiments when you're an individual than when you're a big company. The market remains limited by definition - there are only so many iPhone owners - and it's still hard to spread the word (unless, of course, you have a robust platform!). Still, we'll be seeing more of these in the future, I'm sure. Thanks for your thoughts, y’all.

I really enjoyed this interview! The moment I began reading I flashed back to our most recent visit to our friends' 2-year-old twins. They could not get enough of our other friend's iPhone, and sat there contentedly engaged with it, and he was hard-pressed to keep finding child-appropriate content for them. (Some of what he played for them distinctly was <i>not.</i>) So, as I say, this is brilliant! I see its (ahem) application to the real world immediately! This is brilliant.

It is a fascinating topic for publishers and readers alike. PicPocket Books, a custom application software development company dedicated to bringing children's books to life on the iPhone, introduced two new titles this week, making PicPocket Books the largest publisher of childrenʼs picture book applications for the iPhone or iPod Touch. Children's picture books on the iPhone are a great way to make wonderful stories and illustrations available anywhere, anytime. They can be an alternative to movies or video games on long car trips or flights. Yes, the format is smaller than a traditional print book, but the illustrations are extremely clear on the iPhone screen, and the audio recordings and interactive features add interesting elements. Some people have a hard time accepting the idea of a digital book, but many others are embracing the possibilities. I, too and looking forward to seeing more good quality books turned into iPhone apps.

I think Elizabeth makes a valid point about the app and the real book complementing each other. I love books so much, real physical books and I think such a book is the very best thing to use in read-alouds. That's because kids can see the print clearly, and follow along with their eyes, all part of the learning to read process. However, I think technology used side-by-side with print books is yet another way to engage kids, and get them interested in "story". I am so hanging out for that Apple tablet!

Elizabeth's and hers are the first two instances I've heard of this, but I'm all for new ways of getting books into little hands! Thanks for the post, Greg.
