Utilizing its widespread internet network in the country, telco giant Globe Telecom Inc. has collaborated with Learning Possibilities, a British education firm, to enhance the reading and speech comprehension of Filipino children through its online learning app.
Developed by Learning Possibilities, the digital app Learning Islands was created to develop children’s reading skills and English-speaking skills through digital storytelling modes. It uses Disney characters in telling stories, and offers a variety of interactive games to engage learners.
Learning Possibilities Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Mehool Sanghrajka, MBE explained that the app features an adventure where users must pass through five islands while learning from a collection of 100 Disney video stories and 240 interactive games.
The games also come with prizes that will excite children and reward them for their participation and efforts.
“We are thrilled to enter into this exciting partnership with Globe for the Philippines market. I look forward to working together to deliver this great app to families across the Philippines,” said Sanghrajka.
Rina Azcuna-Siongco, Head of the Get Entertained Tribe at Globe, said the partnership was made to provide a learning platform that is educational, immersive and fun for Filipino children.
“The initiative represents a shared vision for a brighter educational future in the Philippines. With Globe and Learning Possibilities, educational disparities are being bridged, opening doors to a world where children can learn and grow in an enriching environment,” she remarked.
