I stopped to read the provided key points about screen time for kids together with its corresponding article because, it has been always a topic in my mind when friends share their disapproval about TV watching. I always back up my thoughts by considering that the problem is not the amount of screen they have but, the purpse for its use. Unfortunately, I believe many parents use TV or simile, as baby sitters, this I consider negative. While reading these articlaes, my ideas became clearer and on paper! Technology, many times neglected by old-fashioned teaching teachers, is often considered in the same way and, I truly believe that it must be also considered something positive, enhancing and motivating if used wisely.

Besides all the online applications, programs, tools and games .. screen time is equally important for kids. The article also rejects the myths that parents and teachers have in minds regarding screen time. This perspective can be changed in to positivity by by proper monitoring of kids during screen time.

This is where I go for my digital citizenship curriculum which I run K-6 every year. It's a must for every school.

Launched in 2012, Duolingo offers reading, listening, speaking and writing exercises split into different lessons ("skills") and levels (if you get a certain number wrong in a given level, you lose a life). Good example of how free app available on line are helping to solve the financial factor on developing countries and improving language learning.
