    This piece is baseless. There are no references and citations. For a thoughtful and insightful response, see this piece by Gary Stager, who happens to be an educational technology expert, which Carlsonnn-Paige is not: http://stager.tv/blog/?p=2893

    Thanks for sharing Gary's rebuttal. I didn't agree with Carlsson-Paige's piece either, but it's important for those of us in the field to hear what is being said, so we can answer it intelligently (as Gary has done very well!)

    Photos Story 3 is a way to combine photos, voice recordings, music, and writing . Children can bring their favorite stories to life or create their own. By creating photo stories in the class or at home, these stories can be shared to many.

    With Photo Story 3, students, parents, and teachers can create, share, and connect! Simply start by uploading your digital photos and editing them the way you like. Then add your own personal touches such as special effects, transitions, music, and even your own voice narration! Children will love being able to hear their own voices narrate their stories. After you have created your stories, share them with anyone online, by burning a DVD/CD, or watching them on your TV. This is a great way for students to show their creativity! Just download the program onto your computer.

    Free, easy, creative tool for the user. Upload photos, add captions, your own voice as narrator, transitions. and music. Clear instructions too. What's not to like?

    Photostory is unbelievably user friendly and could be used in any classroom to help a child integrate their outside of school experience inside the classroom. It's a good way to get children to learn about the way that other families live and it brings a sense of community to the classroom when a photostory is shared and everyone knows a little bit more about that individual.

    I actually downloaded this software recently. It was extremely easy to use and fun to play with. I created a couple of slideshows involving my siblings, and shared with my family via the email and they enjoyed it. I like how easy it is to share and how creative you can get with it. I feel that children could use this with some assistance, but they will be thrilled with the end result. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

    Site for creating artwork and images ideally for children ages 3 to 12. Anyone can access and download the application for free from the website (tuxpaint.org). The application has special features to engage children, including sound effects when tools are selected and used, and a cartoon displayed in the corner to give help and hints. The drawing tools that are available for children to use are paint brush, rubber stamp, line tool, shape tool, text tool, special effects (magic) tools, eraser, and undo. Also, teachers and children can easily open, save, and print creations.This program could be used in an early childhood setting to help children work on fine motor skills by using the mouse on the computer. It can also foster creativity because the children are allowed to create whatever they want, however they want, and there is no limit on the amount of pictures that can be created. I would use this program in centers in the early childhood setting so that children could get equal opportunity and assistance, if needed.

    http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/techtorial/techtorial037.shtml\nThis is a web version. The Title link is a text only version. This site provides step-by-step instructions for creating student blogs. I would introduce young children to blogging no earlier than Grades K-1 . This can provide young children with a creative opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas and through the web parents can easily access this journal.

    With this site you can create a face using various types of eyes, noses, lips, ears, eyebrows and hair. Once you have created a face you can manipulate it by scaling it up or down, rotating or flipping it. You also have the option to save your picture and email it to friends and family. Overall, I think this is a good site for children to explore creative technology. My biggest concerned was I could not find a statement on who the target audience was. For this reason be sure to carefully watch children when they are at this site.
  • Taylor Meyne on 03 Nov 09
     
    I really liked and enjoyed this website! I liked the freedom to personalize the face I was creating. With the editing tools of color and scaling up and down, I was able to create numerous completely different faces. I think this activity could be great for older children and could let them explore all of the options online art sites can offer.

  • Parents need help figuring out how to set limits with new media and making sure it doesn’t replace one-on-one time talking with their children, which experts agree is still the most valuable learning tool of all.
  • in addition to identifying quality in children’s media, is getting parents to understand the importance of setting limits and guiding their children’s media play.
  • before using technology with young children, teachers and parents should ask themselves: “What’s the value added at this particular developmental level?” and, “What can technology offer that other things can’t offer?”

  • “What are really useful are the interactive and empowering tools.”
  • “I get nervous when people just close the door on technology in preschool,” she said. “There’s an opening of windows onto new worlds that can occur when you have a computer there – a YouTube video or a Skype chat with other preschools in Sweden or Singapore. These are especially magical moments that can happen with young kids -  especially when they just don’t get that otherwise.”

    This is a very simple website, probably better for older kids because site does not provide detailed instructions. Also relies a lot on author/kids own creativity and story formation. Good tool for creating different types of creative writing assignments. Have to be careful because also includes links to make you own cigarette boxes, which led me to believe the site is not highly monitored and kids may be able to access other inappropriate websites.

    Kerpoof Studio is a website for children to create books, cards, drawings, movies, or a picture. It is sponsored by the Walt Disney Company, but is not Disney themed. It is easy to navigate and very child friendly.
