As I hope my blog readers already know, Imagine! has spent the last decade (and more) exploring how technology can be used to provide opportunities for the individuals we serve to become more self reliant and have greater engagement in their communities. We have a lot show for these efforts, so this weekly blog entry is designed to share what we are doing, what is working (and what isn’t), and to promote more conversation and idea sharing around these important initiatives.
Technology Tuesday isn’t new to Imagine! – we’ve been sharing these on our SmartHomes blog for more than a year. So feel free to check out previous posts on that blog, but look for new ones on my blog weekly moving forward.
Back in July, we posted an update on the collaboration project between Imagine! and the University of California Santa Cruz.
In this update, we were excited to let you know that we would begin testing at the end of summer. As it turns out (and no, we can’t believe it either), the end of summer seems to be already approaching quickly. Students are back in session, the leaves will be turning soon, and it’s time to start up some iPad testing. We have now begun testing apps that review skills of number recognition, money recognition, color recognition, and the newest additions, shape recognition and the skill of money addition.
Check out these pictures below of John and Donna, who live in Imagine!'s Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome in Boulder, helping us to take the new apps for a test drive.
