The moment we handed the iPads to the students and gave them full reign, it was magic!

Some of the students were listening to some final words from as we wrapped up the event, but others were already on their iPads completing educational exercises. It hadn't even been more than a few seconds but to see the excitement and motivation the kids have to start the program was amazing.

On June 25th, we did it!

We held a hand-off event where we handed 20 iPads to students of the El Monte City School District.

Part of our mission is to ensure that we can get more educational resources to children - helping those that need the extra studying to catch up and also helping those already excelling to progress even further. But these pictures sum up another reason we continue on our mission : The smiles and excitement of the children!

Consider helping us hold more events like this one at https://igg.me/at/li2ei

Special thanks to for sponsoring all 20 of the iPads.

The word of the day is DIFFERENTIATION.

Learn It 2 Earn It has begun its mission of tackling differentiation... One child at a time.

Differentiation is a difficult issue that needs support both inside and outside of the classroom to solve. We throw billions at education each year, but the differentiation problem still exists.

If a child is unsure of the purpose of learning something they’re less likely to recall that information in the future. It’s important to reinforce the purpose of what they are learning in terms they can understand, and the first step of that is to make sure you treat them like individuals with their own feelings and ideas. A simple way of doing this is to show them the “why” for something they need to do. . .

Sometimes, kids will face a problem in math in which big numbers look almost identical. They may see 52323 and 53232 and need to point out which is larger or smaller. Comparing left and right just by looking at numbers can be difficult for some kids, so how should we help them with strategies to find larger or smaller amounts? . .

Originally, when we began this project, we started out with children earning different amounts of time (much higher than they are now). Over time, we’ve been looking into user usage data and tweaked these values to 75 minutes for a 100% score, 45 minutes for a 90-99% score, and 30 minutes for an 80-89% score. When tuning rewards for children, it’s important to keep in mind that there is a balance that should be had. Our average time we saw spent on exercises was about 25 minutes and as such, we decided that a 3:1 ratio would be ideal for a perfect score. Too much time given, and it removes the incentive to study. We saw that children would complete an exercise or two and continue on to game the whole day away. On the opposite side of the coin, too little time is disheartening for children. Rewarding too little time saw a huge drop off in user activity as the child no longer had any desire to use their devices. . .
