\"\"<\/a>Did you know that… Only 8%<\/strong> of teachers integrate technology into the classroom<\/a>, giving students limited opportunities to use technology hands-on?<\/p>\n

Now, why is that? A recent survey conducted by the<\/span> Early Childhood Technology Collaborative<\/span><\/a> found that 61%<\/strong> of teachers and 56%<\/strong> of administrators attribute the limited use of technology in the classroom to issues with full implementation\u00a0or installation. With limited resources, implementation and installation can be a huge difficulty, and is always a\u00a0HUGE concern for schools looking to innovate learning with new technology initiatives. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Implementing new technology goes well beyond installation. It’s making sure teachers are properly trained not only on how to use the technology, but how to actually use it to teach and implement into their everyday lessons. We make it a mission to help our clients through the entire implementation phase and beyond. Our MAD-learn<\/a> customer success team is comprised of former educators who assist with implementation, including professional development tailored to the needs of your classroom(s).<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile app development can be seamlessly integrated into everyday classroom lessons in any content area to give students of all ages exposure to programming even without an extensive IT background! In fact, that\u2019s our mission, here at MAD-learn. With our MAD-learn program, we\u2019re making app development easy to use and implement. We’ve seen schools have great success from high school all the way down to the 3rd grade!<\/p>\n

Whether it’s implemented into core content areas to differentiate learning, or as a part of your STEM program, MAD-learn is enabling schools across the country to turn their students into creators of technology by teaching kids to create mobile apps like the ones you see below.<\/p>\n
