SwapIT
Interactive learning tool for children
SwapIT offers children an opportunity to use computer technology in a new different way.
Usually, computers and computer games are an activity where you sit still and have to watch a computer screen. With the artificial world inside of the computer there is a risk that children become isolated from the physical world and other children. SwapIT gives the opportunity to design your own game with computer technology as an ingredient instead of a tool. Through cooperation with other children, they create “non-artificial” networks with each other where technology has a central part, but is in no way crucial. How to use the technology is optional, though if you want to, you can use it both in free play and in a teaching situation. SwapIT is designed for children in the age 6-8.
