  • 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.”

iOSteacher: Storytelling - 3 views

  •  
    I have found SonicPics to be a great and easy tool for capturing stories. The app makes it easy to create a podcast which is easy to share. I have also used it as a reflective tool wi my classroom assistants, where we created a podcast of what we saw children in our small groups talking about and observing during an investigation on Australian animals.

TokBox - Free Video Chat and Video Messaging - 4 views

  •  
    Recently learned about this new web-based tool and have tried out the feature which makes it very easy to send a video message by email. I am also interested to test out the chat feature, which would allow a group of people to hold a videochat (up to 20, according to the website), to see how well this works. If it works well, it could be used in many ways, to support meetings and collaborative work.

The Newspaper Clipping Image Generator - Create your own fun newspaper - fodey.com - 1 views

  •  
    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.
