Hi all,

You may be thinking -- what does Reggio Emilia have to do technology -- isn't it a pre-school movement?

Well, yes.. but it's also the home one of the most profoundly wise approaches to teaching and learning on the planet.

If you are passionate about technology that provides agency to the learner, I have a proposal for you.
