Technology Immersion

We live in a technology world. The pace of innovation is accelerating. To be an educated person, one must not only master reading, writing and arithmetic but also technology literacy.

From a philosophical standpoint, the invention of machines (Industrial Revolution) enabled human to amplify our physical power. Machines make us run faster, fly higher, see further, and hear better. The invention of the thinking machine, the computer (Information Revolution), enabled humans to amplify our brain power. Computers make us calculate better, search faster, remember forever, and think smarter. Not to use the thinking machine to help us to learn and think better and faster is like not to use machines and go back to the stone age!

At ChildFirst we believe that technology literacy, just like other literacy skills, is best learned when young, especially for the digital natives like your child. He/she may be the next Bill Gates or start the next Google! We infuse technology into every classroom to help our teachers teach better (more engaging) and you child to learn independently (life-long learning skills). Every classroom has our robotic friend Ed-D (pronounced "Eddie") to enable eTeaching and eLearning.
