<text><span class="style10"> Requirements ΓÇó</span><span class="style4"> At least a 12" monitor Hypercard 2.0 Minimal hypercard scripting abilities Sound input capabilities if you want to </span><span class="style7">fully</span><span class="style4"> customize this stack.</span><span class="style10">ΓÇó About This Stack ΓÇó</span><span class="style4">This stack was created over a period of about three years for my Son, Christopher. I have periodically added new features as the need arose. It has helped Christopher learn his "ABC's" when he was about two and a half. It helped him memorize several phone numbers including 911 and his own phone number by the time he was three and a half (looking back I ask myself if this really was a good idea). It helped us provide a simple method to try to teach him about child safety. Recently, I added a card to help him to learn the days of the week (he's almost 5 now). It has really helped Christopher that he was able to learn at his own pace. It is amazing how easily, eagerly and quickly he has learned through such a simple interface. It consists primarily of buttons that, when clicked, play a sound, flash a button or two and teach the child by sheer, although non-boring, visual and aural repetitious discovery.It is not a perfect interface. It also doesn't have the most elegantly designed scripts. It uses the ABC sounds from Apples "Finger Spell" stack (I could not find a copyright notice on the stack, so if there is any problem, please let me know. At the present time, I'm too lazy to record the alphabet on my own).This stack consists of 5 simple cards: ΓÇó </span><span class="style6">Phone Numbers </span><span class="style4"> Resembles a touch-tone keypad with spoken numbers. Optionally touch-tones are played when the buttons are clicked. Several buttons exist to teach the child important phone numbers. ΓÇó </span><span class="style6">The Alphabet </span><span class="style4">Speaks the alphabet and has several buttons to spell special words like Grandmother, Mommy, etc. ΓÇó </span><span class="style6">Numbers </span><span class="style4">Speaks the numbers from 0-109. It also teaches even and odd numbers and can count by fives and tens. ΓÇó </span><span class="style6">Child Safety </span><span class="style4"> This tries to teach the child: (1) Not to let anyone pick him/her up (from school, for example) without that person knowing a pre- arranged "secret word." (2) Not to play with electrical plugs. (3) Not to open the door until (s)he asks, "Who is it?" ΓÇó </span><span class="style6">Days of the Week </span><span class="style4">Speaks the days of the week. Includes "Today is..." "Yesterday was..." and "Tomorrow is...."</span><span class="style10">ΓÇó Modifying This Stack ΓÇó</span><span class="style4">I have tried to "Kid Proof" this stack by adding a script called "edit" which toggles between "Kid Proof" and "Editable" modes. When the stack is opened, it is automatically set to "Kid Proof" mode. BlindTyping is also enabled (and reset when you leave the stack to what you originally had it set to). Just type "edit" in the blindTyping mode to allow you to modify this stack. Type it again to return to the "Kid Proof" mode. This is the only way to edit the stack cards.There are three sound resources that you will need to modify: ΓÇó "</span><span class="style6">ChildsName</span><span class="style4">" which is currently set to "</span><span class="style7">Christopher</span><span class="style4">" ΓÇó "</span><span class="style6">WhatsTheSecretWord</span><span class="style4">" which is my son's voice saying: "</span><span class="style7">What's the secret word</span><span class="style4">?" (you don't really need to modify this, but I think it helps the child learn when he hears his own voice asking what the secret word is). ΓÇó "</span><span class="style6">SecretWord</span><span class="style4">" which is currently set to a gereric: "</span><span class="style7">The secret word is 'Macintosh' </span><span class="style4">"If you don't have sound input capabilities, just set the global variable "ChildsName" (in the stack script "openStack") to "" (nothing) and "</span><span class="style7">Christopher</span><span class="style4">" will not be spoken. You'll have to decide what to do about the secret word (perhaps you know someone with a microphone).You will also need to edit the buttons that represent the phone numbers you want your child to learn. Just open the script of each button (command-option-click on the button) and insert the new number where you see the existing number.</span><span class="style10">ΓÇó Future Development ΓÇó</span><span class="style4">I have no idea what I will do with this in the future. Some additions will most likely be made because of the future needs of my (now two) children. Whether or not I upload future versions depends entirely upon what kind of response I receive.</span><span class="style10">ΓÇó Contacting Me ΓÇó</span><span class="style4">This stack is "e-mail ware." If you like (or, gasp, dislike) it please send me e-mail. I'd </span><span class="style6">----REALLY----</span><span class="style4"> (get the point?) like to know how far this gets and what kind of response it receives.
