A full day of Zoom calls can be tedious, and having to sit in front of a computer for hours on end in meetings is exhausting. If it’s dreadful as an adult, imagine how tiresome it can be for a child. What’s an educator to do to capture the attention of students and keep them interested in learning? That’s where ACTIVE comes in! We partnered with some of the best in the business to provide exciting projects to help keep kids entertained, learning both on the computer and off.
