Dotmocracy - Letting the Kids Choose.
Yesterday we went to the kids to find out what type of playground they would pick!
With a program called Dotmocracy, some grade 4 & 5 students of Corinthia, Caledonia & Notre Dame Schools in Leduc were able to VOTE for playground items they would love at a playground.
Needless to say, we are very excited to see what the playground developers put together for us with these results......
