Reconnecting online learning with the real world

As young people continue to experience more of their learning online, it is important to connect that learning back into real-world experiences. ParadimEd was born out of a need to anchor the things kids were learning on screens with actual visual, auditory, and tactile experiences provided by their community’s local businesses.

More importantly, learning and language development begins at a very young age! Research has shown that more conversational turns between children and adults, paired with increased exposure to vocabulary, benefits language development. Why not capitalize on it by using the resources provided by your local community?

  • FOUNDER

    For five years I taught middle school science in Denver, Colorado. I took a break to grow my family. When my son was nearly one and my daughter was four, I was looking for ways to fill our time with more educational experiences. I noticed that it required a lot of searching to find local tours. The idea blossomed from there; I decided to put my degree in curriculum and instruction to good use and build lessons to go hand-in-hand with what the kids were seeing in real life. I hope to inspire other care-givers for young children to get out and discover what your local area has to offer!
