ONQ CLOSE-UP Kids & Creativity - There's a new movement in Pittsburgh (a.k.a. "Kidsburgh") as today's tech pioneers find new ways to engage kids using the latest digital technology. It's a new spin on an old tradition; in the 1950s Fred Rogers used the newest technology to engage and educate children. Today the Kids & Creativity initiative hopes to follow in Fred's footsteps with robotics, smart phones, biomedical mystery solving, video, digital music composition and more.
Fred Forward Conference Preview - Experts across the country travel to Pittsburgh and to the Fred Rogers Center in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to brainstorm how to best serve children with all the new, high-tech learning devices. Just as Mr. Rogers used television as a high-tech learning tool 50 years ago, the Fred Forward Conference will implement best practices for innovation and education today.
Fred Forward Conference Discussion - The 2010 Fred Forward Conference brings national education and technology leaders together to focus on a theme - "Creative Curiosity, New Media, and Learning." OnQ's Michael Bartley discusses Pittsburgh's approach to using emerging technology in the classroom with guests Maxwell King, Co-Director of the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media and Audrey Russo, President & CEO of Pittsburgh Technology Council.
