WHAT’S NEW

   
Innovations for Learning is committed to find new ways to provide learning tools and services to schools worldwide. Through partnerships with other nonprofit organizations, our goal is to bring quality education to everyone—everywhere.

Teach for America
Teach for America and IFL will collaborate to bring TeacherMates to schools served by TFA. The collaboration will launch in Phoenix in August 2009. Participating teachers will be trained on the use of the TeacherMate System for differentiated instruction, and will be provided TeacherMates for their classroom in the 2009-10 school year.

Open Learning Exchange and Innovations for Learning

IFL has entered into a collaboration with Open Learning Exchange, a nonprofit dedicated to helping achieve universal basic education by 2015.  IFL and OLE will introduce TeacherMates to OLE centers around the world starting in the Fall, 2009.

Mexico
Innovations for Learning in partnership with Stanford University is bringing technology to rural communities around the globe. In September of 2008, Dr. Paul Kim, Chief Technology Officer at Stanford’s School of Education traveled to Baja, Mexico to bring the TeacherMate to schools and villages in the area. This marked the first IFL/Stanford collaboration.

Korea
Researchers at Seoul National University will be implementing the Teachermate program in public school classrooms in Seoul, South Korea. This research project will investigate how mobile interaction and visual technology plays a role in mobile learning.

Philippines
