evaluation – EDUC 342: Child Development & New Technologies https://ed342.gse.stanford.edu Thu, 21 Jan 2016 07:28:38 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.1 Week 3 Discussion – Juan G https://ed342.gse.stanford.edu/week-3-discussion-juan-g/ https://ed342.gse.stanford.edu/week-3-discussion-juan-g/#respond Thu, 21 Jan 2016 07:28:38 +0000 http://ed342.gse.stanford.edu/?p=1144 From the three articles assigned for this week, I enjoyed “Putting Education in “Educational” Apps: Lessons From the Science of Learning” the most. With all the educational apps popping up everyday, it is nice to have a simple research based method to evaluate them. I think the ideas presented in this paper are very practical; designers, parents, and educators can benefit from them. According to the paper, apps that are active, engaging, meaningful, and socially interactive are educational. The paper provides clear examples of what the authors meant by these four pillars. I definitely plan to use this method in the future, please let me know if I am being too impulsive.

What are some of the best, efficient, and fast methods to evaluate the impact of specific media technology tools on children given that the pace of technology innovation is very fast? Is the one we used last week during class good enough?

Why is screen media exposure for children under 2 years of age discouraged? Does this apply when the screen media content is positive?
