Lumiappaday #188: 100th Day Of School demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 (Elmo, Sesame Street)

100th Day of School is the Sesame Street app that Nokia showed off at Nokia World. It’s available for Symbian too at Nokia Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/233031 

100th day of school is a children’s educational app that can help with their reading.

• The pages will turn with a book like animation.
• Tap on the words and have them read out loud. The words reappear in larger font and each word being said is highlighted in red.
• Tap Elmo and he’ll ask you some questions.

I just noticed there is no marketplace link for this as it’s a Nokia Lumia exclusive:

You’ll have to go through your Nokia Lumia’s Marketplace app.

BTW, coincidentally there’s a post from NokConv today about the Sesame street app and lifelong reading:

“We used interactivity to drive attention back to the book. In many apps today, interactivity takes a way from the reading experience, we wanted to avoid that.”
