3/23/2015 See Happy Draw Bug Shapes, Letters & Numbers. Crudely designed, but interesting, this is a set of guided drawing lessons that makes it possible to see the lines you are supposed to draw before you draw them. It's another example of a pedagogy that would not be possible in any other medium, before the tablet. It's a bit like having a tutor built into your pen. You start with easy shapes, like circles and squares, and progress to harder with animals and eventually letters. You can earn stars by staying close to the lines; in addition when the shape is complete you can color in the drawing. Finished projects can be saved to the photo library. Content includes 40 drawings. This is not the most fluid design, but the interesting feedback mechanism makes it of potential interest to ECE educators. http://youtu.be/hxcli9Zfl6s
