"CONNECT: The Center to Mobilize Early Childhood Knowledge
CONNECT is creating a series of web-based modules for national educational use by Early Childhood instructors and learners. "
"These preschoolers were each assigned a color, and were then tasked with finding objects in the classroom that matched their color. We then took their pictures with their objects, and in some cases, the students were the photographers!"
"Our kindergarten class put together this interpretation of Peter Reynolds' book "The Dot." The kids made their own artworks, selected their own props, posed themselves based on the artwork in the book, took the pictures with a digital camera, and read the text themselves!"
"Totlol is a video website designed specifically for children. It is community moderated. It is constantly growing. It is powered by YouTube.
The videos were submitted, screened and rated by parents. The selection is huge and if you like, you can participate too."
"Toontastic is a Creative Learning tool for the iPad that empowers kids to draw and animate their own cartoons and share them with friends and family around the world."
This is the video that Candace shared in her email.
"If we invest in programs that promote learning beginning at birth, the statistics will change, the stories will change, the future will change."
"A developmental listing of videos I found (10/2010) suggesting that the iPad has lowered the Minimum User Competency by about 18 months, from 2 1/2 years (the mouse/keyboard). This presents new opportunities for children's interactive media developers; suggesting the dawn of a new era in computing, as user interface becomes increasingly invisible. "
