Title- Tic@ula: Designing a technological tool for supporting literacy for children with special intellectual capacities.
Abstract- Literacy development is an essential process for people with intellectual disabilities. Otherwise, they will have additional difficulties in their daily life activities and hence their social inclusion. It is a big challenge for parents and teachers, but it is easier if the process begins since children. In this paper we present Tic@ula, a web framework for creating, centralizing and sharing learning objects based on IEEE LOM standard. Tic@ula pretends to enhance the adaptation of the resources for literacy to the Costa Rican reality and extend its application to children with moderate intellectual disability. The resources are based on the literacy method proposed by Spanish authors in their book "Down syndrome: reading and writing". The method and the resources were evaluated in a case of study. The preliminary results showed that the method not only can be applied in local context but also assists to teachers and parents to design and use literacy resources for special education.

Title- MODEBOTS: Environment for Programming Robots for Children of 4-6 years old.
Abstract- Learning to program in early age helps children to develop some capabilities as logical thinking, problem solving and creativity. By incorporating robotics in programming children can learn in a concrete and funny way, collaborating with each other. The research project presented in this paper describes the first prototype that implement a programming environment for robots using mobile devices, for early childhood children - 4 to 6 years old. This prototype is fully functional and allows bluetooth communication one by one. We expect our research will contribute to Human-Computer Interface field, providing a new interface to support the learning process of programming in preschoolers’ kids.
