Technology & Learning without Labels

In any school classroom, you are likely to find kids with labels--"gifted", "learning-disabled", "ADHD"... A great benefit to using technology is that children are able to learn free of these very common labels. Today's educational applications can be designed to continually assess and adapt to a child's abilities. We took this into consideration when our company developed the Imagine Tomorrow program. I wanted to ensure that each child who used our software would be able to comfortably explore and learn at his or her own pace, and achieve success. The adaptive measures the software takes is transparent to the children. As they sit side by side, they only see that they all complete the same mission and reach the same goal. They all share in the same successes.
