“One of the fundamental flaws in the ways that we teach, is that in too many classrooms and too many schools, we teach 1951 style to an audience operating, in all aspects of their lives, in the 21st century, living in a multimedia world. Multiple intelligences teach us that we use all of our senses to learn but we have preferences in how we learn. Your program lifts the work from the pages of books and presents it to students in an interactive, fun way. We know, as educators, that when literacy -- in all forms -- is fun and interactive, children will turn on to the work and will succeed.”
