Active v passive
Some people I have been listening to are concerned about children using technology to the detriment of developing creative thinking skills.
OK; screen time - television, playstation, xbox, winning/losing games, baby genius....
Do these promote creative thinking? I agree - they do not.
Kidpix, digital blue camera, digital blue microscope, paint, artrage, audacity, photostory and others do promote creativity, problemsolving, trial and error, perseverance.... many of these are available as free downloads, and those that are not free are well worth the price.

Those unbelievers need to watch my 13 year old with a new 'toy'. You should have seen him sort out digiblue for me and give me the highlights of what it can do!!!
