Tiggly Wiggly

Tiggly manipulatives


Tiggly had one of the most promising products that I saw at this year's Edsurge conference in Austin. These digital manipulative exist for elementary subjects, to include alphabet letters. You press the correct manipulative on the screen and your iPad can register whether or not the correct block was placed. I would love to see some high school and middle school applications, which they currently have no plans for. They have a patent for this technology.  As an Instructional Design student I've often been troubled by the lack accommodations for IEPs with 99.9% of the products I see, but it appears there may be usable tech on the horizon. It will be interesting to see what this company does next. (Also available on Android, and thus soon touchscreen Chromebooks)
