This group reviews software for kids and they have a preschool section. They say they are independent and don't take advertising money from the software companies. And, it actually writes reviews that are negative.

But it's amazing what kids are capable of. These so-called digital natives never knew of a world without computers, cell phones, or the internet. I read about a couple who develop iPhone games for kids, and use their three-year-old as the guinea pig. Parents often rely on their kids to show them how this stuff works, leaving them wondering how they're supposed to, well, be the parents here. We wanted to find out how parents can encourage their kids' use of technology without losing control. So we called up two experts in the field. First, Warren Buckleitner, editor of Children's Technology Review, and author of a recent study on young children's tech habits, and Lisa Guernsey, senior policy analyst at New America Foundation, and author of the 2007 book Into the Minds of Babes.

Bonnie, thanks for the share. It's pinned now. Agree it's great to be able to access information like this for those of us who can not attend.

Some examples of using technology with young children are included along with app reviews, etc.

This app was created with Eric Carle and uses his illustrations for simple games. They will be adding more games, which you will have to purchase, as they are created, all based on Eric Carle books. Very nice app for young children
