Ontario’s own Groupe Média TFO has managed to score two major international awards. A press release hit my inbox last week that I’ll use to hit the key points:
Appolicious, named “the most useful of the app search engines,” by the New York Times, along with its educational ranking website, www.appoLearning.com, have named two applications by Le Groupe Média TFO:Mini TFO and La Cible, as Top-5 ‘best in class.’ These recognitions place TFO, a multiplatform digital content company, among world leaders in education, where it stands out as the only Canadian producer in any of the French-language categories.
The Appolearning website lets parents know which educational apps they should encourage their kids to use, while also detailing the skills that are taught within each recommended application.
Glenn O’Farrell , President and CEO of Groupe Média TFO, had this to say:
“With these latest awards, TFO has once again been recognized as a digital education leader, praised for delivering engaging, relevant and innovative products for the whole family,” explains Glenn O’Farrell , President and CEO of Groupe Média TFO. “Our teams of creative designers and educators work diligently to deliver world-class products to Ontario’s Francophone and Francophile audiences.”
The apps in question are
- Mini TFO – The single highest rated app (Score 96) in the Early Childhood > French category, it was loved by reviews because it “combines preschool videos with simple games like coloring pages and jigsaw puzzles, all in a French interface.” Appolearning believes it will help “give your child a head start towards bilingualism.”
- La Cible – Named among the Top-5 highest rated apps in the Middle School > French category. It is heralded for being “the most advanced app on the list and is easily suited to older kids as well as middle schoolers. The games do not teach French as a second language, but rather just build vocabulary and general knowledge. There are math, science, ancient civilizations and other general topics.”
I’m one to do some flag waving as I like to see home grown companies succeed. The fact that Groupe Média TFO has managed to score these two awards is something I like to see and applaud.
