The kids’ in early learning programs at a pair of elementary schools in town are less likely to be caught in the “digital divide,” thanks to the Niagara Education Foundation and IBM Canada. Fort Erie Elementary School and Crystal Beach Public School are two of 16 schools across Niagara which received or will be receiving one of the devices, valued at $2,600. The package includes a Lenovo desktop computer paired with a child-friendly desk made by Little Tykes. The computer also features an oversized keyboard, mouse and educational software supplied by Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt. The software is geared to help the children improve reading, spelling and basic math skills. In all, IBM’s donation totalled $40,000.
