The Harvard Graduate School of Education released three new early literacy apps targeted at parents, caregivers and children last week, marking the first time HGSE has developed mobile apps for public use.
The three apps called “Small Wonders”, “Photo Play”, and “Animal Antics” comprised a project spanning multiple years of work and were developed by Reach Every Reader, a literacy initiative run by HGSE and several partner schools.
Three HGSE faculty led the apps project: senior lecturer Joseph H. “Joe” Blatt ’70, a senior lecturer on education; Meredith L. Rowe, a professor of early learning and development; and Paola Uccelli, a professor of education.
Civic and education leaders from around the world discussed the future of education in technology in a Harvard Graduate School of Education webinar Friday.
The event, the most recent installment in HGSE’s webinar series Education Now, was moderated by Thomas J. Kane, a professor of education and economics at HGSE, and featured Anant Agarwal, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and founder of Harvard and MIT’s online education platform edX; Usha Goswami, a professor of cognitive developmental neuroscience and director of the Center for Neuroscience in Education at the University of Cambridge; and Angeline Murimirwa, the executive director for Africa of the Campaign for Female Education.

In mid-March 2020, University of Nebraska-Lincoln students received an email stating classes would be suspended for a week prior to spring break and would return to online classes for the remainder of the semester.
Nearly a year later, the world looks very different than it did at the time of that fateful email.Â
Important aspects of life that nourish mental and emotional health vanished as the result of the pandemic. There is no more smiling at strangers, just the crinkle of eyes behind a mask. There are no longer tender hugs with friends or family without a negative COVID-19 test in tow. With the slow but sure distribution of vaccines, there is light shining at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel, but not without questions about the long-term mental health effects of the time in history.Â
