What Is The Right Age To Introduce Your Kids To Mobile Technology?

What Is The Right Age To Introduce Your Kids To Mobile Technology? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
My boys love to play with their iPad. My oldest who is 4 ½ spends an average of about 45 minutes each day playing a variety of games. Some like Endless Alphabet are educational while others like Fruit Ninja, are not so much.
Gust MEES's insight:

 

I suppose the answer is a fairly simple one. Like everything in life, access to technology is best done with a healthy serving of moderation.

It Pays Off to Invest in Early Education, Says Nobel Economist Who Boosts Kids' IQs

 

The Baby College program at Geoffrey Canada's Harlem Children's Zone is trying to foster exactly this same kind of notion: enriched parenting, providing children with encouragement and creating early environments promoting cognitive skills and non-cognitive skills. Just something basic like reading to the child on a regular basis, a very simple human activity that many of these disadvantaged kids don't get, can have payoffs, in terms of IQ.

Great Tips: Label Books with Your Child’s Name

Great Tips: Label Books with Your Child’s Name | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Try something new with your kids every day! Find tips on reading, learning, and raising a well-rounded child.

 

Make a point of writing your child’s name in the books that are hers to keep, in simple block letters. In part, this helps her begin to recognize the symbols that she’ll eventually learn as the unique sequence of letters that make up her name.

 

===> And it’ll make her (his) “library” feel that much more special and precious, something to build and save. <===

The students posted what they were learning (in roughly 140 characters) as a way to summarize their learning after class each day. But they were also using good grammar, and learning about all the ways that Twitter works.

A very good way to educate kids below 13 years old to use Social Media Twitter with even NO account! Before the kids will even be old enough to use Twitter they will know how to use it in an responsible manner!

Why parents should educate their kids about tech

Why parents should educate their kids about tech | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

"For parents trying to raise kids and give them the technology to be successful, yet also protect them, there's a sense that no one's there to tell folks what steps to take," said Marian Merritt, Internet safety advocate at Symantec.

 

But laying the responsibility for teaching digital citizenship solely at families' feet would be a mistake, Warren said. "It also has to be a part of ongoing education," she added, noting that kids as young as 2 now commonly use smartphones and other technological devices.

 

"I hope schools are distributing information and educating (families), ===> but ultimately, parents have a huge role to play (in the process)." <===
