We are proud to introduce Kyte Learning as part of our 2019 - 2020 DigCitAPPROVED partners. Last year at ISTE, when CEO, Richard Culatta asked all of us how we were going to make a commitment to digital citizenship, we immediately knew we were going to #DigCitCommit by officially partnering with Kyte Learning to bring our personalized professional development approach to the school communities we work with around the world.
What is Kyte Learning?How We Met Kyte Learning
In 2015, our friend and colleague, J. Derek Larson introduced us to Kyte Learning when he was a featured speaker at the first international DigCitSummit in Bournemouth, UK. Since that time, we have been massive fans of Kyte Learning as a professional development platform, and even more importantly, as an organization. The founders, Brayden Wardrop and Asher Sume have created a platform and an online library of educational technology training videos that meet educators where they are and help them move forward. Their mission as a company is to inspire teachers to embrace technology in the classroom through meaningful professional learning.
