ACP Fom e Koule app for iPhone and iPad

Fòm e Koulè an Kreyòl was developed by A Connected Planet Foundation for use in Haiti in our Tablet Implementation Program. Virtually no applications exist in Haitian Creole. So we started developing our own applications.

The app is very simple. It contains a lesson and a test mode, and will teach you all the basic shapes and colors in Haitian Creole, French and English. In the lesson mode, you use our drag and drop function to select a shape and a color, and drop it onto our canvas in the center of the page. Once a shape (or color) is selected, you will hear the name of that shape (or color), and the name will display at the top of the screen. In the test mode, you will have to drag and drop the correct shape and color that corresponds to the image displayed. At the end of the test, the app will provide you with your score.

ACP’s focus is on education apps for young Haitian children. Look for ACP’s other applications about the alphabet, numbers, fruits & vegetables and animals. The graphics depict culturally relevant items for the rural areas that we work in. ACP has also partnered with the Matenwa Community Learning Center to turn their Haitian Creole Mother Tongue Books into applications.

ACP’s staff and volunteers include professionals from the Academic, Education, Computer Science, Business, Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Speech Language Pathology sectors.
