The safety of the self-contained classroom, one separated (by walls and firewalls) from the rest of the world - the world we are supposed to prepare our students for - goes against everything that surrounds young people today and prevents them from learning how to navigate the complex online world

It's no secret that today's wired learners have better technology in their back pockets than they're offered at school. It's also clear that students are much more inclined to engage these devices than take in the sage-on-the-stage teaching models of yesteryear. So why aren't we making use of the technologies our students actually enjoy

"The African Alphabet" CD contains 13 fun sing-along songs for kids of all ages. The songs are an A to Z of things African and are composed in vibrant African styles ranging from Afro-Jazz, Afro-fusion, Afro-pop, to more traditional sounds and a whole lot more! Aside from teaching the Alphabet in a novel way, the CD exposes kids to wonderful African music and culture where they will get to learn about Ululating, Soweto, Yebo, Impis, Marimbas and so much more.
