Inspiration

There is a need in early elementary grades to prepare students for the 21st Century

Kindergarten children need to practice learning in an environment which promotes the 4 Cs of learning; Critical thinking and problem solving, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity and innovation.  Preparing 21st century students for the next grade is as important as teaching Literacy skills. Bringing technology into the kindergarten classroom would expose children to 21st century skills and better prepare them to be lifelong learners full of curiosity and success. Kindergarten lays the foundation for a child’s academic career and early exposure to technology will provide ELL’s with an equitable digital education.
