Utilization of the Lectora Inspire Application in Early Childhood Education

Abstract

Early childhoods still have a lot of empty spaces in their brain. Introduction and supply of optimal contents are very essential as the basis for self-development process in the future. In relation with learning activity, there are various components which can be used by teachers. One of them is learning media. In many PAUD schools, the teachers have actually been provided by some appealing learning media. However, these media, to certain extent, are not strong enough to motivate the children to learn some concepts. Thus, varieties in learning media are necessary. This paper proposes one of the varieties which can be used by the teachers. It is an IT-based learning media which has been developed by using an interesting application namely Lectora Inspire. In order this application to operate is not a rocket science. This application enables the teachers to design learning media to introduce various concepts to the children. Learning media which are designed by using Lectora Inspire will stimulate children’ interest in learning activities so that they can be familiar with materials introduced in the application.
