  • Ensuring that public and private sectors invest in needed research and innovation to leverage digital media as an untapped source in solving the national literacy crisis.
  • Developing a new cadre of effective teachers who can change the paradigm of learning for low-income children.
  • Raising the quality of consumer digital media products for children.
