What I hear, I forget; What I see, I remember; What I do, I understand. ---Confucius
Because technology engages the 3 main learning senses - SEE, HEAR, and TOUCH - all at once.... children are actively "doing" learning. This is so important at the youngest of ages - when children naturally explore by doing. Also, we turn kids into computer detectives who become the main characters of their mission. Through a hands-on approach, they solve the problem of the day using technology as their tool. They are in the 'do' role throughout their mission.
We believe the more connected a child's technology experience is to their real world, the more they can understand it and apply it. Other games and even other educational software and websites often lack this meaning and purpose. We celebrate the NAEYC's Week of the Young Child April 10-16. We applaud everyone who dedicates their work and passion to impacting children's lives through fun hands-on learning.
