Brushing up for the Oscars (R)? Test Your Knowledge with Cellpup's Movie Award Trivia Download -- for Your Cell Phone
31 January 2006
Cellpup (www.cellpup.com) released a fun product for anyone to test their movie award knowledge any time, anywhere—on their cell phone.
If you're a movie fan, you have until March 5 to brush up on who's won through the years; past Academy Award performance is a key factor in who wins and who loses. Prepare to win your Oscar(R) night pool or simply amuse yourself while you wait for the bus, the elevator, or a friend.
Cellpup has taken this seasonal detour from its primary mission of providing essential study tools for students on the go. Cellpup taps into the way young people use cell phones in their daily lives—in the halls, on the bus, during brief windows of time—to help them memorize words, facts, and concepts and test their new knowledge.
Cellpup's free Make-Your-Own feature helps students and teachers create mobile learning software on any subject for download to students' cell phones. Students and teachers can use Cellpup's Make-Your-Own tool to easily enter any content on the Cellpup Web site, download it to their phones, and share it with students in their class. Students and teachers can return to the site any time to edit, re-download, and share their Make-Your-Own decks—all for free.
The Cellpup site also features pre-made decks available for download in a variety of subjects: Spanish, French, Italian, test preparation, citizenship, math, and more. Cellpup software modules—or decks—feature both multiple choice quiz and flip card modes and are easy to download to Web and Java-enabled cell phones from the Cellpup Web site, www.cellpup.com.
"The goal is to help anyone memorize the essentials of whatever they're learning—Spanish, SAT vocabulary words, or Chemistry—wherever they are—waiting in line, riding a bus, or in the back of their parent's car," said Co-founder Rose Castorina. Keys to the Cellpup concept, Ms. Castorina explained, are ease of use and entertainment value—both of which increase the likelihood of frequent exposure to new material—and thus its storage in long-term memory.
Why the name Cellpup? "Because puppies are smart, mobile, energetic, and learning all the time," said Ms. Castorina.
