    The Curriculum Toolkit is an innovative online resource for higher education faculty in the fields of early childhood education, psychology, and children's media. The Toolkit features content designed to enhance classroom instruction by providing instructors with a wealth of archived video and instructional material from the Fred Rogers Archive. The Toolkit continues to grow as more faculty add their expertise to this growing knowledge base.

  • Maxwell King was blunt in assessing the ever-growing industry that churns out television shows, video games, Web sites and other media for kids: We don't need more crap, he told the audience at this week's Fred Forward conference. There's plenty of crap already.
  • Media products for babies, toddlers and preschoolers represent what is now a billion-dollar industry. How young is too young for TV and video viewing? What sort of shows and Web sites help children develop, and which ones keep kids from interacting with the real world? Combing through the thicket of mindless videos and slickly marketed characters to find the worthwhile educational elements is anything but easy.
  • One highlight of the conference: A chance to help shape the national guidelines about the role of technology in children's lives, which haven't been updated in 14 years. The NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has announced that they're revamping those guidelines this year -- a very necessary move, given that the technology and media landscape has changed so drastically since 1996.

  • The audience offered up a long list of issues worth exploring -- everything from the role of technology in teaching children about emotion to the challenge of preparing teachers for tech-infused classrooms and even the environmental impact of high-tech toys.The guidelines will deal with the lives of children from birth to age 8. Conference participants agreed that the final position paper must take into consideration what a huge developmental range that represents.
  • Many speakers at Fred Forward pointed out that although Fred Rogers may not be here to advise us any longer, we can look to his wisdom to find some of the answers. Mr. Rogers knew, and demonstrated, that technology could be harnessed to educate and help develop young children's minds and spirits. But he also knew that sometimes kids need silence and space, freedom to explore the real world and a chance to move at their own pace.
