As parents, we want to shield our children from the filth the world is constantly spewing a them. We want their little minds to remain free of dirty, violent, and sexual images or knowledge. If monitoring their tv and movie selections wasn’t enough, now we have to worry about the internet – it’s at school, [...]

As the summer winds down and parents focus on enjoying every last warm day outdoors with our kids, it’s hard not to think just a bit about the fall, school and days spent mostly indoors. Internet use for children becomes more frequent during the winter months due to school research and indoor boredom. As parents, [...]

If you haven’t already noticed, we live in a world of portable technology and apps. And thankfully, now more than ever, much of the portable tablets and netbooks available are more affordable than ever. When you’re a parent with kids, what are your options? What’s durable? What can you take on vacation without packing a [...]

Like just about every other mother in the world, I constantly find myself juggling children (sometimes almost literally), diaper bags, my purse, and all the other stuff we must tote as we run errands, attend appointments, go to the grocery store and everywhere else.

Thankfully modern technology can [...]

Math is such a “building block” subject – each concept builds on the one before. If [...]

As much as I’d like to boast that my daughter is drawn to books without school to occupy her thoughts, it is actually the computer that captures her attention.
Any number of websites or games draws her to my MacBook minutes after waking. American Girl. Poptropica. National Geographic Kids. At this point, my questions go unanswered. [...]

The number one category I’m requested to review apps in is education. I guess it makes sense since I’m a mom of young children and have a degree in education. Parents will often ask, “What’s the best app for learning letters? What about learning numbers?” So, this week I’ve assembled a list of some of [...]
