This date marks the physical representation of partnership through collaboration and exploration.

The Orchid Initiative, a philosophy based organization focused on ‘personal individuality’ designed a student-facilitated session with Edchange Global Classrooms (formerly Edcamp Global). The student-facilitated session used Twitter as a platform to communicate and share techniques to better establish digital citizenship.

“Thanks so much for your product. My brother has special needs. He loves the iPad. Knowing how important it is for him to be independent, I want him to be in charge of his iPad. With your product, now I am not worried. It is easier for him to hold and manipulate. We have gone through four screen breakages. I believe we will not have a problem anymore.
