CreatiVoices Productions aims to launch an educational and inspirational Filipino Audio Book entitled “Mga Kwento nina Lolo Tasyo at Lola Sela”. This audio book will feature a collection of Philippine myths and legends that teach values for children. This Department of Education - endorsed project will be the first of its kind in the country.
With the advent of technology, western culture has been able to dominate Philippine media. In children’s programming, foreign films, shows and cartoons have become the mainstay in television and radio, setting local shows aside. Moreover, easy access to the media has made it possible for children to be more exposed to crime and glorified violence. There has also been a decrease in values-oriented programming, as the media gave more focus to more informative fare. CreatiVoices Productions sees the need to bring back values-oriented, local, and educational media for children. This project will be the first step in the company’s goal to re-introduce Filipino culture to the youth through the use of convenient and accessible technology.
This education-based project aims to teach Filipino values and life lessons through creative storytelling. It also aims to support the country’s need for a medium in which to enrich and promote culture. Through this project, the company aims to assist parents in developing their children’s cognitive and listening skills. A genuine interest for local literature and folklore will be developed through this project.
The benefits of using Audio Books
An Audio Book is a recorded reading presented in digital format. It may contain a recording of previously written material or not. Audio books are usually distributed on CD’s and downloadable digital format.
Audio books are widely used for educational purposes. These devices are credited in teaching starting or struggling readers in proper diction and pronunciation. There are many advantages in using audio learning devices not only inside the classroom but also outside of it.
Through the use of audio books, children at an early age will be able to associate literature with a fun activity, as it enables them to use their imagination while they listen. The educational benefits of audio learning devices are not limited to literature, as these devices are also used for studying foreign languages.
Audio books are more cost-effective to produce than printed material and are more convenient to use, especially with the advent of portable media players. Their portable nature makes these devices very useful for people with a busy schedule, and can be used while doing other activities such as jogging or doing household chores.
