About this webinar

Pop-Up Webinar from Early Childhood Investigations and
Early Childhood Technology Network!
Join this one-of-a-kind webinar presented by three of the brightest rising stars in educational technology, Justin Sabo, Peter Kinney, and Matt Stewart to hear about the thinking behind a brand new device, cloudBoard™ (that's not a typo...it's cloudBoard!) that takes iPads, and other mobile devices, PCs and Macs to the next level for learners of all ages. These Carnegie Mellon alums are the co-founders of Digital Dream Labs. Their release of cloudBoard this month has drawn major accolades and reviews from some of the most respected technology reviewers in the country, including the folks at GeekDad and Mashable. In fact, cloudBoard is on KickStarter vying for a big goal!
We are so excited about the potential of cloudBoard, we decided to spring one of our free, unusual Pop-Up webinars on you so you can learn more about how technology can REALLY be used to connect the concrete, tangible attributes of manipulatives with the swiping and tapping required for tablets and the clicking of required for computers. According to the guys at Digital Dream Labs, "cloudBoard brings playtime back to the real world by combining videogames kids love with toy blocks you remember from your own childhood."
In our opinion, this is a STEM (STEAM) revolution! We think this is so important, that for the first time ever, we are featuring a product on Early Childhood Investigations. Let's be clear: There is no sponsor for this webinar, and no one asked us to produce this webinar. There is no hidden agenda and no payola! We just want you to know about the potential for meaningful play and we want to help Digital Dream Labs make their Kickstarter goal. We hope you will join us to ignite your imagination and be among the first to get your hands on cloudBoard. Register now!
