Geo Detective, an educational geography app
Posted: Wed Nov 20, 2013 10:20 pm
Greetings,
When I was in primary and high school I was never a good student. I was never good at reading the textbook and taking the tests afterward. This has always been a sore spot for me.
Later in life I decided that I may be able to help current students that have the same issues I had. That is when I decided to make educational apps for tablets. This is a post informing you on my first release Geo Detective United States Edition.
Geo Detective is a series that teaches geography of the nations, states, and capitals. The first game in the series focuses on the United States. It includes puzzles for the states and capitals. Each puzzle also includes information about each state stretching from governor and state bird to the Motto and Origin of the state name in the original language and translated.
The application is currently only for iPad and is free to use. This includes any future updates to game play, information, and statistics. Its target audience is 4th and 5th grades or anyone that is preparing to learn about the states, or writing that state report that scared me so much in 4th grade.
Please take a moment to check out the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GeoDetectiveUS for future information.
The app itself can be found at this liink

Being my first foray into educational games please feel free to send me any constructive critique to ESGeoDetectiveUnitedStates@gmail.com
I know that taking the job of education into your own home can not be that easy, I hope that I can make it a little better for everyone.
Thank you for your time.
