MISSION STATEMENT

Bringing the arts to life on the Web, for all ages.

Focus on Folk Arts In Education:
Improving literacy through arts education and advocacy by providing collaborative and interdisciplinary resources for understanding the universal laws of perception, underlying the rhythms of both speech and music; world culture and our national culture.

Our Heart Work:
Teach Reading Using Playground Game Songs
National Children's Folksong Repository reflects Karen Ellis' continuing emphasis on linking local culture, arts, people, organizations, literacy, music technology and education.
National Children's Folksong Repository NCFR
Integrate, Literacy Music and Technology into the classroom. Use the technology to collect Children's poetry, nursery rhymes, clap pattern chants and songs, playground game songs then have the kids add them to the NCFR database. Use this content in a reading curriculum that will raise students grade level by years in just a few months.
1977 The original research showed that students who were taught to read using playground game songs successfully raised their reading level and spelling levels by a few years in a few months.
The Educational CyberPlayGround, Inc. website was created to provide all the hard science that proves why this simple successful approach works.
2010 Research Confirms original findings that Motor And Cognitive Skills Are Improved By Hand-Clapping Songs.

Genius of the Educational CyberPlayGround

You've got a problem. You don't know what you don't know.

You've got another problem. People don't surf the web, they poke.
Click Click Click until finally people find enough clues to begin to understand all the options: sorting through data - which one is the best, which one is telling the truth, and finally realizing the big picture.
THAT TAKES TIME A LOT OF TIME, IT'S TOO SLOW.
Since we have been on the net since 1991 you can know that we've spent more than 10,000 hours finding the best, most trusted research / data out there. We've collected the information for you.
We've got a answer.
We connect the data, turning it into information, you'll find the meaning when you see the big picture. That is . . .

Our Transcendent Purpose:
Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo, we believe in showing the big picture. The way we challenge the status quo is by using disruptive transdisciplinary thought. [ IEC ] On one page we give you enough clues, enough information that gives you enough meaning to get the big picture.

This isn't about a perfect website, this is about you being in the right place at the right time, and getting the right story and the connections that bring you to meaning which is the big picture. You'll get the research, find the connections, learn what you need to know or who to ask, and who is trust worthy.

CHRONOLOGY
FAST FACTS

The freemium model — that is us, we have been offering a free service online since 1996. We only charge for things that are hard to do. The hours, months, and years of research we have been able to put together, showing the history and the connections which reveals the big picture, giving a true perspective. We have tried to do our best, to create something great, and be truly transparent. Except for Consumer Reports, and Daniel Shore, the benchmark of truth tellers, who did his best keep his promise. He did his best. It just seems impossible to find people like this now which is why pundits mean less than ever before. The politicians, and the media have squandered it's social currency, the publics' trust. We hope you will be on our side, support us, link to us, and subscribe to our content. We are here to help protect the commons, the common folk, and the common wealth.
The internet has dramatically widened the number of available substitutes. We don't have to like it, but it's true. That means we have to work far harder to create work that can't easily be replaced. No one can replace our point of view Our Transcendent Purpose.

A PLACE FOR NEWBIES

REASONS TO PLAY HERE
The Educational CyberPlayGround began in 1997 when I recognized the need and provided a place newbies to start. The focus was always professional development and still is. It was also a great place to house the custom curriculum delivered by the Internet, and a place for all of us to play in cyberspace. That's where I got the idea of a CyberPlayGround, no boundaries, no walls, where Adults can come to play. This is the place for Life Long Learners.

About The Education Vendor Directory

/\ FAST FACTS /\ STATS /\ STICKY SITE

The ECP is a specialty portal that is focused on a specific topic - Education. Some analysts are convinced that the large, general portals' services are becoming indistinguishable from each other and soon will be ghost towns as people flock to specialty sites that cater to individual interests. A unique database just for the business of Education. We offer many valuable services that Internet travelers cannot get off-line -- better deals, greater convenience, greater ease of use, and you can list your service or product for free.
