Transforming literacy learning spaces
The internet has had a revolutionary impact on the education system and how we learn. Traditional classrooms have been transformed into interactive learning spaces and many of our students now rely on the internet and smart devices for critical research that supports their learning goals.
With the help of technology, the Flow Foundation has been supporting an integrated approach to learning centres by providing internet access and devices for underserved individuals and communities. This provides the opportunity to tap into the full potential of our children by deepening their connection to the learning process through diversity and greater engagement.
