Bett2020: Story-telling with Dipongo

February 6, 2020

In the Dipongo app children choose a story to follow. There comes a point at which the story stops, and confronts the child with a challenge. Then it's up to him or her to come up with a solution through drawing, say. That's incorporated into the story, which continues. Interesting!

I am currently experimenting with writing articles of exactly 50 words in length. This is one of them.
