"When using and choosing technology for children teachers should let children pretend with the types of gadgets they see their parents using. Stock the dramatic play area with a non-working mouse and keyboard, cell phone and/or electronic music device."
Or maybe just give them a box of crayons and let them draw a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head.

I say we stock the fridge with some empty bottles of Guinness. Or, to cater to a different demographic, some empty Keystone Light cans. After all, it's what adults drink.
Dear John,
My frontal lobe edited out some obvious vulgar high-tech tools. The more we design classrooms, the more I think the children are better off outside.
I have never regretted a single moment under the sky. Can't say the same about ceilings.
We went to the socialized playing area (aka the park) under a surprisingly dark gray skay. My daughter abandoned the slide to watch the sun's rays peak through a cloud. It was beautiful. That type of thing doesn't happen under fluorescent lights.
