Because tagging is a very personal procedure14, many users don’t know how to designate sites, which leads to different styles of bookmarking the Web15. Javier Cañadas (2006) suggests four styles of tagging for del.icio.us users:
-
The selfish style. We tag only according to our individual context. Our tags have personal meaning (only for our own benefit), are irrelevant to other users and difficult to place in the social context of the del.icio.us network of users (for example, Oliver, for Tiya, etc. are tags which indicate resources saved for my husband or for my daughter). In time, it is possible that this type of user will classify content under generally accepted, more theme-oriented tags. This doesn’t exclude selfishness, but attributes a certain social utility to tags. The social benefit of such a classification consists in the user’s maturity.

At least three needs became apparent throughout the day: Educators and parents need succinct, research-based messages about what works best. Teachers and leaders need professional development on how to skillfully integrate technology into their teaching. And the app marketplace needs markers of quality informed by the science of child development.

Not sure how best to categorize this site- lots going on, from studies" on parents' and educators' attitudes regarding digital media use in young children" to" ways ""new" literacies can converge with emerging media to produce a powerful new learning equation that can stimulate both our early education system and our children's abilities to innovate and create."

While SNSs have implemented a wide variety of technical features, their backbone consists of visible profiles that display an articulated list of Friends1 who are also users of the system.
-
Structural variations around visibility and access are one of the primary ways that SNSs differentiate themselves from each other.

Pasnik says she sees a lot of learning potential in these newer technologies. Tablet computers for example, offer repetition, portability and the possibility of learning with gestural movements, all of which hold promise for preschool students. She cautions that many of the apps being developed today place too much emphasis on academic skills and not enough emphasis on making things, discovering, sharing and turn taking. “We do a disservice to young children in attending to a very rigid and narrow sense of math and literacy and not really paying attention to the developmental needs of this age group,” said Pasnik. “The uptake of adoption here is far in advance of the research. But that’s not to say that we can’t be really thoughtful about what we do know about children’s development.”
-
I think a lot of the applications out there are focusing too much on academics. I have one app called "toddler shapes" where a toddler--apparently is supposed to enjoy this application and learn their shapes. I have found this application to be much more developmentally appropriate for my preschoolers. My point is, that Pasnik is right, there needs to be more applications that help children explore..applications that facilitate inquiry.

I spent some time searching for apps for my granddaughter. I was disappointed to see that there was so many apps focused on letter recognition, number recognition, and shapes, yet not enough open-ended apps that encourage creative and divergent thinking. The iPad has so much potential, but if the software isn't appropriate, it will be of little value.

Technology in the lives of our children is here to stay. As a creator and developer, I am very pro technology. While there are many things to celebrate there are an equal number of things to be concerned with. My primary concerns are divided into 2 main areas: technology's impact on human to human interaction and the negative effects of shorter and shorter cycles of information, impacting our ability to focus our attention. Throughout of development cycle, we met with a number of parents. The number one thing everyone expressed was, wanting more time for themselves. Being a parent is exhausting and every one needs a break. What concerns me is the kinds of content, the kinds of experiences and fundamentally, the kinds of rhythms involved in those experiences. I don't want the digital baby sitter to over stimulate my kids or to weaken their ability to hold focus. Everything has a rhythm; every person, every moment, every place. As human beings, this is our primary relationship to our world and to each other. Providing parents with experiences that support their child's rhythm is key to the use of technology in the home. When seeking out digital content, I encourage parents to look for things that provide longer times of focus. Save the fun and flashy events for highly active time. Communicate to your child the quality of time as you make content available to them. its focus time - a movie, its fun time - a game, its quiet time - drawing. One of the things we've done with our digital book, is to provide a free downloadable coloring sheets. Every experience should not be digital. In fact, I believe strongly that facilitating the transition back to the analogue world is part of my responsibility as a digital content creator.
