Gina's first stop was in Birmingham, Alambama where she met with Suzanne McFerrin, Dr. Cindy Kirk, and Tiffany Armstrong who are part of #ELCbama. During her brief time, she visited the Boaz Elementary School and Boaz Child Development Center in Boaz, Alambama. She met with a bunch of enthusiastic learners and educators. Gina observed and interacted with a preschool classroom that featured the  Pocoyo ® PlaySet ™ at Boaz Child Development Center and three preschool classrooms at Boaz Elementary School. She visited some wonderful technology rich environments there, which included smart boards, notebooks, and iPads from HITN. The Pocoyo ® PlaySet ™ has reached the hands of 90 children in Boaz, Alabama.

Her second stop was in sunny Miami, Florida, where she visited KIDCO Childcare, Inc.
Gina met Ivette Riano, Silvia Lavia and a few teachers who were using the Pocoyo ® PlaySets ™ in their classrooms. Gina observed and interacted with five preschool classes. During Gina's observations, she noted one preschooler in particular that was able to identify colors all on his own while playing Dance With Elly, in the At the Seashore Pocoyo ® PlaySet ™ prototype. The PlaySet has reached 100 preschoolers in Miami, Florida.
