Re: kids and technology

@somegroovychick

but what if there were educational games that they were playing- games to help them improve their reading or math? is reading on the ipad really that much worse than reading a book in hand? are we being oversentimental about the printer word because thats what we grew up with? is it the method of delivery that is negative or what is being delivered? or both?

as for physical activity, the wii has a whole range of games designed to get families moving. no good?

sry beb on lap- brb.

because kids will always prefer the non educational games. technology also breeds short attention spans, which are short enough in kids anyway. i think milly touched on this.

wii is not a substitute for running around in fresh air and getting dirty.
