Imagine Tomorrow...Today!

The name of the company I founded, after resigning from teaching, is Imagine Tomorrow.  The mission of the company is to have a postive impact on the lives of children, while preparing them for their future.  The tool I use is technology, the most powerful tool for learning.

I was imagining tomorrow when I  opened the first Computer Learning Center in 1991 and this is what I imagined:

I imagined a place where children would come and there would be high expectations and respect for every child

imagined a place where children would have so much fun while learning, because that is how children learn 

I imagined a place where the youngest of children would get to use the latest and coolest technology, not just to play games, but for learning, creative self expression and problem solving.  Kids who understand the power of technology will be the ones who will be successful in school and in life.

What I only could have imagined in 1991 is more than a reality today, being the largest provider of computer classes in the United States.   Today when I imagine tomorrow, I envision the content we develop, Discovery Kids Puterbugs, being used by millions of children worldwide.
