Oceanside Unified School District, like many others, has begun using tablets and mobile devices as educational tools. One main point about integrating the technology was that the focus was not only on using the technology to create projects and conduct research, but on making sure the devices fully enhanced the learning experience. Doug Kriedeman, OUSD’s coordinator of assessment, states that “the devices themselves do not make students more engaged,” meaning in order for students to have a strengthened learning experience with the devices, it is important that teachers focus attention towards developing projects and lesson plans that will encourage students to work creatively.

This last Thursday night, I attended the 25th Anniversary Gala for Reach the World, a non-profit that I have provided my Creative Direction to for over the last two decades. As an early Traveller on their program’s launch craft “Makulu”, through years as a Board Member, and then professionally over the last decade, I have guided their Brand Development, designed and produced several websites, developed a popular geography app, created numerous presentations for all kinds of mediums, and I continue to support this wonderful organization with my imagination and creative energies through my company Young Mind Interactive (youngmindinteractive.com/).Their mission to use technology to connect children in underfunded schools with travelers around the world has helped them grow over the last 25 years from a small, home-based non-profit to a well-funded, well-partnered, national organization, embedded in thousands of schools in the U.S. and bridging the divide between cultures and societies one child at a time.
