Azerbaijani fairy tales on ‘iOS’ and ‘Android’ platforms

The National Computer Game Association with the support of the Azerbaijan Youth Fund is now implementing “Cultural Heritage and modern ICT: interactive fairy tales” project in Azerbaijan. The project is financed by the Azerbaijan Youth Fund within the 2^nd grant competition, which is now underway by the fund in Azerbaijan.

The project is being implemented as part of measures stemming from the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan’s decree on “Declaration 2013 ‘The Year of ICT’ in Azerbaijan”. According to the president of The National Computer Game Association Ramil Aliyev, the aim of the project is to develop interactive fairy tales for early childhood education.

The specially developed visual surface of interactive fairy tales will be compatible with the most popular in the world iOS and Android platforms and will support “touch screen” options. This means that children will be able to access   the interactive fairy tales via tablet computers, smartphones and other modern communication devices.

This novelty is very unique in that it will allow children to take an active part in the game process by moving objects on the screen of the device. Captions on the screen will allow children to read and retell a fairy tale.  So, to sum up, the novelty will help children to learn to read,  develop imagination and improve sociability.
