WW1 Daily on the iPhone

WW1 Daily answers two fundamental questions:

• What happened today in the First World War?
• Where did it happen? Show me a map!

Flip through daily cards showing important events of the first 'total war'. World War One affected the entire globe for it's duration and arguably for the century that followed.

Each card shows the date, a succinct description and a zoomable map for the event. You can flip the card over to read the Wikipedia article describing the event.

You can sort your deck of events using two mechanisms:

• Sort by day and month for a this day in history view.
• Select a start date and then sort by day, month and year for a true chronological sequence of events from that date onwards.

The data for WW1 Daily comes from the World War One Timeline Project. This is a community contributed project to collect time and place data for the war. You can come to the site to browse the timeline or even log in and contribute new data.

The Timeline Project currently indexes almost 300 hundred data points with new entries being added daily. If a significant event isn't in the database yet, it soon will be.

Faerie Memory for iPad

Faerie Memory is the classic memory game Concentration, with a literacy twist.

Half the cards in each game show 64 of the most commonly used words in the English language. When your child flips over one of these key word cards, they hear the word read aloud and try to memorize its position. The other half of the cards are cartoon faeries to keep your child coming back.

This process will build familiarity with words that appear in almost every sentence they will see. This familiarity translates into confidence that will be invaluable as they learn to read.

The game supports multiple levels of difficulty, single player and two player modes.
