What is a Digital Schoolhouse?

A Digital Schoolhouse is a mobile learning center that can be anything:  a bus seat, an airplane seat, a cafe chair, a sidewalk, a comfortable couch in a mountain hut.  I go everywhere with the tablets because I meet kids and adults who want to learn on their own.  Many children in Mexico have to leave school at an early age because their family can't afford to send them to school beyond the primary grades.  Mobile education is one way for these kids to continue their studies.

I love to wander through the backcountry of Mexico, enjoying the striking scenery and simple lifestyles.  This is a shot

of El Naranjo, a small village above Urique, Chih.  Of course, there were several kids who wanted to play with TapTapEnglish!  This little gal loved the virtual pets that talk to you in English.  She petted them and tickled them to watch them laugh.  She was fascinated by the English phonics apps, making a word with sounds on a puzzle game. 

TapTapEnglish is fun!
