Robyn Torry, a second grade teacher at Queen Elizabeth School in Lloydminster, Alberta, has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished Educator for integrating iPads into her classroom curriculum. Torry describes using the iPads as “an engaging way to learn,” and her students have worked on numerous creative projects using the iMovies and iBooks apps both individually and collaboratively as a class. The iPads have become strongly blended into the school’s curriculum and is shared by several of the teachers who also see the iPad as an excellent learning tool. A book made by the students in Torry’s class using the iPads is available for download in the iTunes store.

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.
