ALT Human Restoration Project Acquires Floop Edu
As longtime supporters and users of Floop in our own classrooms, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power it has on facilitating authentic learning that students can be proud of. We are committed to expanding its impact and making it even more accessible to educators around the world.
Floop allows us to foster a culture of continuous improvement in our classrooms. We aim to build on this foundation, incorporating new features, resources, and best practices to help educators empower their students to become active learners and reflective thinkers.
We are dedicated to preserving Floop’s core values while innovating to meet the evolving needs of teachers and students alike. Floop will continue to be a free platform where educators can inspire, nurture, and guide their students towards excellence.
With enthusiasm and gratitude – let’s restore humanity, together.
