Robotic Pets & Preschoolers [pdf]  [top] This study examined preschool children’s reasoning about and behavioral interactions with one of the most advanced robotic pets currently on the retail market, Sony’s robotic dog AIBO. Eighty children, equally divided between two age groups, 34–50 months and 58–74 months, participated in individual sessions with two artifacts: AIBO and a stuffed dog. Evaluation and justification results showed similarities in children’s reasoning across artifacts. In contrast, children engaged more often in apprehensive behavior and attempts at reciprocity with AIBO, and more often mistreated the stuffed dog and endowed it with animation. Discussion focuses on how robotic pets, as representative of an emerging technological genre, may be (a) blurring foundational ontological categories, and (b) impacting children’s social and moral development.

  You can't fool a kid. They know the difference between a real dog and a fake one. Or do they? It makes sense that children pick this up at 24 months, when they start reprentational thought. I'd like to read the full study...

I wrote this for Early Ed Watch yesterday as an explainer of RTL, but also to highlight the research that is underway. Thought that the members of this group might find it useful. There is a desperate need for good research (with sound methodology from independent evaluators), and RTL isn't enough. But at least it's something and we should be paying attention to what this program can tell us so far.

Twitter is an easy way to communicate with friends, co-workers, and other people. For us, as teachers, it is a great way to communicate with parents what is happening in the classroom!

Twitter has become a very popular site over the last 2 years. This site would be more appropriate for teachers and parents. Teachers could follow someone in the public eye that has importance to education, and parents can follow teachers. By "follow", I mean that if you "follow" someone, you receive updates from them to your phone and/or web. It is a great way to stay connected! Many times parents are curious as to what their children are doing/learning that moment, and teachers can express this through using Twitter.

After evaluating this site even more, there is not always a guarantee that a website that is posted to someone's update would work or be available. This could cause concern and frustration for a parent or student trying to stay in communication with a teacher through Twitter.

This website is wonderful! It is a great way to have group discussions between teachers, as well as teachers and parents. A teacher can post a picture or video of something going on within the classroom to share with the student's parents and receive comments in five different ways! Five! If you join any group, you can post a comment by telephone, typing, computer microphone, webcam, or uploading an audio file. That's such a variety! That allows easier access for parents, as well as other teachers who want to be involved.

After deeply evaluating this website, I found it more difficult to find specific documents that I would prefer to find. This could be difficult for a learner online.
