Siftables- The New Educational Creation

Siftables are the first product made that are little computers, the size of about a small cookie, that have many feautures and are targeted as an educational purpose. Feautures of this magnificent project are wireless communication, graphical display, neighbor detection, and motion sensing. These were made for the purpose of users to physically be able to grasp them to either pile, group, or sort so that they could interact with digital information. It's amazing the things you can do with siftables; not only for young children to play with, to build up blocks, but also for adolescence to make music on, or use as a calculator that calculates numbers together quickly.


Siftables.

As I watched the video from Ted Talks, I learnt more about the product that fascinated me in many ways. These blocks can help tons with mathematics for any age as it is much easier to understand a concept when you can demonstrate it to yourself. They work to help children find others ways to play which involve them learning in the process. Depending on a reasonable price, that has no yet been set, since this product has not been sold yet, I would, as you should also, consider buying this product for your children, for yourselves, or as a gift to your family or friends.

Siftables- to be able to play and learn at the same time; it's a two-in-one package.
