I am delighted that MINDsprinting
has taken an educationally-sound teaching technique, (which has proven itself
internationally in terms of paper-and-pencil sorts of tasks) and adapted it to
21st century educational technology. This presents an exciting opportunity for
improving the basic academic skills of children who have access to computers.-
Dr. Michael Luther, Course Director, Psychology Department, York University
The on-line accessibility and
convenience will be a key feature to anyone who wishes to improve numeracy and
reading comprehension skills."- Sooky Crljen,
2-3 grade teacher
"In addition, I think that the
adoption of an online delivery system is a very significant strength of the
MINDsprinting program. Online learning content in MINDsprinting
can give children a chance to get out of their dependency on teachers and the
classroom setting.- Dr. Kwang-Hyun Koo,
Professor Department of Early Childhood Education College of Humanities, Anyang
University, Korea
Through MINDsprintings
innovative dashboard feature, both students and parents can maintain
awareness of student learning, diagnose problem areas, track achievement, and
report progress to interested others. Empowered to manage their own learning,
students and their parents become their own educators, able to shape their
intellectual growth in ways that are not constrained by the traditional school
classroom. Allowed to learn at their own pace, students become more confident
in their capability and more motivated to engage in the learning process.
Infused into the classroom, this confidence and motivation is a potent agent of
change in other childrens attitudes towards education.-

Technology, Inc. and a former postdoctoral associate in the PACE Center at Yale
University
