Free patient websites, blogs, support and community - CarePages.com - 0 views

  •  
    Carepages is a site that allows individuals undergoing a health care challenge to connect with others going through the same experience. Families are also able to create their own blogs and websites where they can share updates with family and friends. Carepages provides support, community, and resources for anyone needing information and help during these trying times.Teachers can use this site to gain knowledge of conditions that might be affecting their students as well as by providing them with a way to check in on a student who might be in the hospital.
  •  
    Carepages are a great way for families and patients to keep family and friends updated both in and out of the hospital. They would also be a great way for teachers and students to stay in touch with a friend who is in the hospital and missing school.
  •  
    A website that connects patients during a "health challenge." This site, like CaringBridge, is for ill children and families and has information, discussion boards, and blogging. Although useful for a certain segment of the population, does it belong on techhome?

NYT: The risks of parenting while plugged in - Kids and parenting- msnbc.com - 2 views

  •  
    Interesting food for thought about the effects of constant tech use on children. It's not clear how much actual research is out there yet; this sounds like more of an opinion piece. But it's an issue worth watching.

SuperKids Software Review of Preschool Software. - 5 views

  •  
    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.

    Hmm-didn't notice an "About Us" to learn more about who is reviewing/their process, and wondered why they don't have any Software Mackiev products listed at all, an important publisher of early childhood software for Mac users, or Tech4learning, which also has good educational software. Haven't looked around for software review sites for awhile- good to look and see what is available.
  •  
    I read some of the reviews and most of the software is very "drill and skill", not discovery based. I think this leads parents and teachers to think that "drill and skill" is the way to go and I am uncomfortable with that - computer-based worksheets.

    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."
