Inspire the children in your classroom to move, create, discover, and learn with our engaging, easy-to-use educational technology.
From the NAEYC Position Statement on Young Children and Technology
"Effective uses of technology and media are active, hands-on, engaging, and empowering; give the child control; provide adaptive scaffolds to ease the accomplishment of tasks; and are used as one of many options to support children's learning.
Interactions with technology and media should be playful and support creativity, exploration, pretend play, active play, and outdoor activities."
