Nobody can deny that the tech revolution is more underway now than ever before. The world is changing so rapidly. Is it changing how children learn? Short answer – YES!
-
It is the most exciting time to be a learner. The most successful children of tomorrow will be the ones who can use technology to FIND information, think creatively, assimilate it, and then self-express/communicate it. That’s why Imagine Tomorrow's program focuses on using technology as a tool for learning.
-
It’s an interesting fact that the children we’re teaching today will have jobs tomorrow that have not even been created yet.
-
I find it to be such an exciting time because learning is at your fingertips. I strongly believe, just as I did in 1991 when I founded Imagine Tomorrow, that technology is one of the coolest and most engaging learning tools. It incorporates the three main leaning senses. Children see the applications on the screen, hear the accompanying audio, and touch the keyboard or touchscreen... The more senses involved in this interactive experience, the better the retention of information learned during the process.
-
One other reason I love technology is… It doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t know the age of the child, the sex, or the color of the skin. It doesn't attach a label to its user as gifted or learning disabled. Technology levels the playing field for all learners.
-
So is the way kids learn changing? ABSOLUTELY...and Imagine Tomorrow has the program that is preparing children to use technology to be life-long learners.
