About The Learning Home
The premise behind The Learning Home is that the home is the first and best place to start the process of exposing your family to a world where technology, nature, education, economics, culture and society are seamlessly integrated. By combining the old and the new via simple and elegant approaches in common household contexts, the intention is to give your family a more robust and well equipped foundation from which to start with and continually make use of during their participation in the world we live in.

Family Focus
In order for The Learning Home futurespots to be achieved, a family will need to agree to focus on the following:
1. Commitment to supporting a never ending process and environment for learning and fun.
2. Commitment to put aside time to learn a little bit about new technologies so that each family member (especially parents and extended family) are willing and knowledgeable participants when using technology to augment teaching in the home.
