Learning in disguise!
Imagine Tomorrow's Puterbugs taught my son at 2-1/2 years old how to master letter recognition and keyboarding skills at the same time! "If it has flies with wings, that letter Puterbug lives on the top row!" The characteristics of each bug aligns to where it 'lives' on the keyboard. Learning letters has meaning and comes to life through playing with these fun Puterbugs!
At Imagine Tomorrow, we believe that there has to be purpose and meaning to a child's technology experiences and immediate application to their real world. They don't just play games! Everything they do connects to a reason for learning it so they can apply what they are learning. This builds a respect for technology as a tool.
In celebration of NAEYC's Week of the Young Child theme "Early Years are Learning Years," join us all week for posts about how technology - when introduced and integrated effectively - can have such a positive impact.....and why we believe it is important to START YOUNG!
