Mister Rogers' Make a Journal iPhone App

Date: 2009
Publisher: PBS Kids
Device/Platform: iOS

Description

This application for iPhone and iPod devices opens with Daniel Striped Tiger and the Trolley offering a warm welcome to kids. Touching the Trolley on this screen makes it moves along the tracks. Similarly, Daniel speaks when touched: "Hi, I'm Daniel. Want to play a game with me?"

Initially, kids select the "Make a Journal" option and are taken to a screen where they can choose which situation they would like to document in their journal.

Each selection offers multiple screens to follow from which children can select their feelings and actions in their chosen situation.

Each journal entry ends with the opportunity for children to express themselves through artwork. Once their drawing is complete, the entire journal entry can be saved for later viewing.
