This year the school would like to introduce this new technology. The VINIC is WIFI ready and can be downloaded to a computer; meaning teachers can monitor the students learning. With this new technology students will be encouraged to learn on their own, with some monitoring from parents and teacher. It will help the teachers give the students the extra learning they need and have fun at the same time. The new generation of students that are entering school are the generation that plays games and are computer savvy. VINCI sets a new standard for learning by converging developmental science, cutting edge technology and early childhood education into a hand-held device that young people will enjoy learning from . There are different levels of learning for each student; it offers math, reading ,science, social and thinking skills. For fun projects the students can do video recording, picture taking and it also has a music recorder.
