SMART BUS: THE TECHNOLOGY BUS FOR KIDS

By Steven Simmons
Educare Consulting, LLC introduces the Smart Bus, a new technology lab within a school bus that travels to various preschools, after-school programs, birthday parties, childrens festivals, and camps. Their goal is to augment children’s education with the most cutting edge technology and learning-approved applications. The traveling lab consists of new iPad tablets and an interactive Apple TV.
According to a late 2011 survey of 2,200 parents and children in Britain and the United States, 15 percent of kids between three and eight had used their parents’ iPad. Nine percent had their own iPad, while 20 percent had their own iPod. The same study, by the marketing agency Kids Industries, found 77 percent of parents believed that using tablets was beneficial for their children and the same number thought the gadgets helped develop creativity.
They believe that the future of industry is technology. Every job and every industry is being changed and/or enhanced by technology. Smart Bus will offer children an advantage by making them comfortable using technology at an early age in a learning environment. Smart Bus utilizes software approved by teachers and parents to bolster a child’s educational experience.
The Smart Bus team’s mission is to maximize student fluency in the use of technology, to enhance the content curriculum of the classroom, and to prepare the students for a life-long learning through the use of technology.
