THE CONNECTED LEARNING STORY

Four young women engage with each other in an educational setting.A child uses a handheld mobile device to watch a video.Two adolescent boys sit together, each using a laptop computer.A young girl lies on the floor and writes on a white piece of paper with a pencil.

Active learning works. Engaged. Hands-on. Experiential. Learning by making and doing.

New technology opens unprecedented opportunity for active learning.

It works. Kids, parents and teachers like it.
