    This paper seems a little old (1997) however, is a good overview of assistive technology.

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.

    Will be interesting to see how new trends in technology, mobile devices, will be used by young children. This 2.5 year old seems quite savvy, testing out this new device.

    This site is used to create a "dancing" piece of art. Children can use their creativity to draw and color. Once finished, their artwork is set to music, and it dances in sync. Others dancing artwork can also be accessed and viewed.

Picasa - 1 views

  •  
    Picasa is a great way to organize photos into timelines and albums either on your computer or online. Picasa can be used to edit photos and add text. Movies, collages, slideshows can be made. Photos and items made from picasa can be used by parents, teachers, and children. Teachers can document the progress and activities throughout the school year. Children can use Picasa for showing off their projects or documenting their own personal progress.
  •  
    This is free easy photo sharing and also works for Macs. Parents and children could conceivably use it at home to make illustrated books with captions since there is a caption writing feature.
  •  
    Great site where anyone of all ages can upload pictures and create things like photo stories Picasa is free photo editing software from Google that makes your pictures look great. Sharing your best photos with friends and family is as easy as pressing a button!
