  • We found that today’s children intuit a very seamless connection between online and offline worlds
  • A strong trend in the pictures the children drew was a break down in the barrier between the physical and digital worlds, with children appearing to see no difference between ‘real’ and ‘computer-based’ activities.
  • today’s children see technological devices as a natural extension of themselves
  • Current initiatives include Trash to Treasure, another illustration-based study which looks to kids for new ways to recycle and manage waste

    Loved this video Sarah...esp since it started out with Google Maps locating Saskatoon, Sask, Canada! Saskatoon is about 2 1/2 hours north from my hometown of Regina, Sask. (I might be a bit intimidated by the student in the video though...holy cow!! ..."That's your job" !!!!)

    Thanks Sharon, I thought that it was a great video too, and I liked the kids eyes and faces he made! haha I didn't even know he was pointing to a place in Canada, good job picking up on that !
