    Are parents justified in being angry about a feature they didn't know existed even though it is easily disabled in their settings? Interesting article on how an unsupervised 4 year old racked up over $80 of "in-app" purchases within a free app.

For teachers, it is important to be experts in your field, make lessons engaging and relevant and be strong role models.
