Thing 18: Find, Discover & Share


Apps Gone Free!!!  

I checked out the free apps on Wednesday, March 23rd and none of them appealed to me personally, but I got Playroom-Lessons with Max which features educational games for preschoolers.  I played peekaboo and match and did really well.  It took me a minute to figure out how to play match though.  A 3 year old would probably have no trouble.   There are also colors & numbers, puzzles and memory. I guess I would recommend it to the parent of a preschooler, though I generally think that preschoolers should play these games with another human being.   Dr. Ari Brown, Chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics, says that, "We as humans are very much social beasts and we are really learning by engaging with other humans and so the more that a digital technology can approximate that, the more a young child can get out of it."
