      Maria, I'm guilty of that! I tend to hand my phone to my daughter so easily.
  •  
    I do that too, Martha. I am getting better though. I hand over my iPad to my 6 years old often. On it I only have installed apps that are appropriate for her. Her school had a very nicely put together list of apps that are available either free of cost or at a minimum. Sharing the list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtmIIa0t-oLTdGVucnUxMUVMTUdmbWE5a0RrYTJtb1E#gid=0

    Shaila did you notice the list is dated to 2009/2010? Can you imagine what that list would look like now? Especially with teenage kids creating and selling apps!

  •  
    From YouTube: Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
