Educational Technology Product Development

It’s hard to overstate just how much digital technology has transformed our lives. Screens are ever-present and the whole world is literally at our fingertips at all times. These digital tools are powerful; let’s use that power to make a positive impact for kids in the 21st century.

Are we on the same page? Do you have a tech product – or an idea for one – that you think will do amazing things for kids? With my expert consulting services, I can:

• Help you build or improve your product for high engagement and maximum learning.
• Provide expert guidance on child development and how ages and stages affect optimal tech design.
• Engage parents to get buy-in and participation.
• Help you make your product stand out. We’ll solve the problem of entering into a crowded field with lots of products (that don’t alway live up to their big claims)

Mieke VanderBorght, the founder of The Global Digital Mindful Project, holds a Ph.D. in developmental psychology and has conducted extensive research on kids’ learning from screen media. She’s also written over 600 parent and teacher reviews of apps, websites, movies, and short form video content.

That work required in-depth testing of the products and clear solid knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. Through those years of research, product reviewing, and parent coaching, Dr. Mieke also know what parents’ concerns are and how to reach them.
