  • What on earth is the iPad doing to my child?
  • Dr. Heather Kirkorian, an assistant professor in the Human Development and Family Studies Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
  • studying how touchscreen devices affect early childhood learning
  • ...40 more annotations...
  • For decades it’s been known that infants and toddlers under two years old learn less from video than real life experiences—it’s called the “video deficit.
  • three years of age, when educational video viewing can actually facilitate learning
  • background television
  • could disrupt play behavior and parent-child interaction
  • face-to-face interaction is crucial for learning language and social skills. Excessive TV exposure at this early age has been linked to language delays and social impairment such as lack of expression or eye contact.
  • American Academy of Pediatrics recommends zero screen time for children under two years of age, and no more than two hours for older kids
  • “contingency”—the image on the screen changes in direct response to one’s behavior.
  • Young children are captivated by contingency
  • An analysis by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center in 2012 showed that three out of four top-selling apps in the education category targeted elementary-age children or younger, and the most popular apps are aimed at preschoolers.
  • But although many apps claim they have educational value, there is almost no published research on the effect of interactive apps on infant or toddler learning.
  • “If I study the iPad today, it may not be relevant in the next five years,
  • Kirkorian’s first study (which began in 2011) is only now under revision
  • Koeun brought out an iPad and began showing Jeremy a video of a woman standing behind four boxes. The woman took one object out of each of the boxes and named each of them. They were weird-looking things and were given random names like “modi” and “toma.” After viewing the video, Koeun brought out a box containing the four objects in real life and asked Jeremy to give her the “toma.” He immediately picked up the correct object, indicating that he was able to learn the information from the video and link it to real-life experiences.
  • According to Kirkorian’s results, toddlers above 30 months of age are able to learn the names of the objects equally well with or without interaction with the screen (Jeremy was 32 months at the time). However, this is not the case with younger children. For younger two-year-olds, the requirement to specifically touch the box doubled the likelihood that they picked the right object, whereas touching anywhere on the screen did not help.
  • In other words, specific interaction with the screen significantly improved their learning.
  • Engaging children to actively participate and interact with the screen may overcome the notorious video deficiency effect. Perhaps children under two years old can learn from screens after all.
  • Of course, the study has its limitations.
  • this is the necessary first step to understand how interactive technologies influence learning.”
  • With the information being collected, what should we look for when selecting an app for our young children?
  • engaging and interactive features that aim to enhance learning without causing a distraction
  • Selecting age-appropriate apps is also important.
  • Parents should monitor their child's use of an app to make sure their child understands how to play and foresee aspects that could be frustrating for their child
  • It's good to keep in mind both that children can learn from apps and that they still need real interaction with people.”
  • language-rich experience
  • working with a caregiver, someone who can answer questions and provide feedback about whatever is happening on-screen.
  • a tool to increase interaction with your kid
  • a set of standards for evaluating the educational value of interactive apps—what they call the four “pillars” of learning
  • minds-on” learning, engagement with the learning material (without distraction), meaningful experiences that relate to the child, and social interaction.
  • digital pacifier
  • If these devices become the predominant method to calm and distract young children, will they be able to develop their own internal mechanisms of self-regulation?
  • it is important for kids to learn to self-regulate
  • If parents expect their kids to wait at a restaurant for 45 minutes, let them get fussy, and respond by giving them an iPhone, they are probably rewarding that tantrum. But if you anticipate that your child is not capable of waiting 45 minutes without a distractor, then sure, bring an iPad along to entertain them. This is a proactive approach and is no different from bringing toys along. It’s much better than having age-inappropriate expectations. Come prepared with some tools, and if that tool is an iPad, it may not be the worst thing you could do.”
  • no kind of technology is inherently good or evil. It all depends on how you use it.
  • nteractive devices do have the potential to help young children learn in ways unachievable by television or other passive screen media.
  • Science is lagging far behind technology
  • It is impractical to never expose kids to screens
  • “It’s much more empowering to give parents information on what sorts of screen media are most valuable and let parents decide for themselves, instead of just saying, ‘Don’t use it at all.’”
  • Common Sense Media found that 38% of children under two have used a mobile device for playing games or watching videos. That was in 2013
  • Do your best to choose something that seems age-appropriate, well-designed, and educationally valuable

    Like the focus on creation apps and not subject-specific apps. Look for four general apps: an annotation app, a screencasting app, an audio creation app, and a video creation app.

    It appears since the arrival of iPads that the PC it is no longer the cutting edge technology that it once was. My blogs aim to investigate the use of this handheld technology in primary education, in particular my School's 'iPad journey' and look at some of the apps, which when used creatively with other apps, can be used across the curriculum to engage, motivate and inspire children's learning in the classroom. mrandrewsonline@gmail.com

    I was introduced to this app at Learning 2.012 conference. In the video in this post it appears that it is being used for 'test' situations. I wonder if this is much different from just using a paper and pen. Teachers create the content that is used - so there is a potential here for it to be used for tasks that require deeper thinking skills (if the app allows). Something to investigate at least.

    There are mobile applications for devices such as the iPad that can help elementary-school students become critical thinkers, says teacher Diane Darrow. She suggests eight such apps to develop the "remembering" phase of learning -- included in Benjamin Bloom's continuum of higher-order thinking and learning. Darrow suggests teachers use Word BINGO to help students recognize words; Rocket Math, a program that uses math to teach about rocket design; and Shake a Phrase, an app that helps students understand sentence structure

    ""In the shift to digital, it's not just about replacing textbooks but inventing new ways of learning," Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps said. "Some of the education apps being developed for iPad are approaching learning in an entirely new way, and that's exciting." Sallie Severns, founder and CEO of iOS app Answer Underground, told Wired that tablets' simplicity, ease of use and the massive range of academically minded applications available are drawing teachers and educational technologists to the platform in droves."

    "Developing and maintaining a productive workflow while using iPad is not an easy thing to do. It does not only take knowing and installing all the necessary apps, students need to build a momentum , working on their apps and using them judiciously. Building such a momentum is a process of habituation that calls for repeated actions. It does take some time for students to get used to develop these skills but once they do their use of iPad becomes fluently productive."

    "In principle, that avalanche of pixels (and their increased color saturation) means that photos, videos, maps and text should look jaw-droppingly good - and, in apps that have been rewritten for the new screen, they do. Apple's own apps, like Photos, Maps and iBooks, are just incredibly sharp and clear. "
