"There's a new movement in Pittsburgh as today's tech pioneers find new ways to engage kids using the latest digital technology. The Kids & Creativity initiative hopes to reach children with the use of techonology like robotics, smart phones, biomedical mystery solving, video, digital music composition and more. Featured segments also include the Fred Forward Conference, which carries on the legacy of Fred Rogers."
When I see this video, I couldn't believe how much inventions designed for kids and for creativity. Technology provides a lot of possibilities for imagination and allows kids to reach different kinds of media. Through this video, it also address that technology shorten the distance of communication. From K-12, programming empower them to express their ideas. Very fun!
Fun video that highlights some cool usages of technology, but i think its a little bold to call it a 'new' movement. lots of major urban centers are utilizing technology in education in really creative ways.
