I was out with Wifey doing some birthday shopping for one of the grand bratz and we got this..
I asked her what operating system it used and she said it's DRiBBLE , I searched the t'interweb and can't find any thing about this OS...
Cheers,
Gavin

Couldn't agree more. My son who's autistic has had an iPad Mini since he was 2 and has learnt far more from it than anything else he has. His numbers, alphabet, colours, and much more. He's now 6 and even though he's mostly 'non-verbal' the iPad allows him to express himself. He even opens the browser and searches perfectly for 'youtube alphabet train', which is impressive considering his lack of communication.pau1ie wrote:To get even more serious, I would suggest, when they get a little bigger, not to buy a leapfrog tablet or other proprietary kids tablet? They are quite cheap but the software is terribly expensive for what it is, and they try and lock you in to their ecosystem. Far better to get a tablet (apple or android) then install appropriate apps from the store.

We thought we had covered that one - we got ours some child oriented tablets, NABI IIRC. They came with a big rubber bumper. They had their own app store but they were, at core, Android tablets so you could side load other apps, including other app store apps which then extended your choice. They did, eventually, manage to break them though.Commie_User wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 9:31 amThough on the other hand, why give them real computers when they are still young enough to break everything?
I wonder how much we should worry about things like that. Reading is clearly important and it is easy to forget, sometimes, that Google does not search the content of your local library. But I can't remember the last time I ever did arithmetic "by the column method" which our daughters are now being taught at school. I mentioned this to my parents, suggesting it was an outdated skill, and they said "But what about the times you have no calculator with you but do have a pen and paper". For me, though, I always have my smartphone on me, and therefore always have a calculator, and write so little with a pen and paper it's always an effort to find these things on the rare occasion I need them. Are we a little slow to move with the times?Commie_User wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 9:31 amAlso, kids are now trying to 'swipe' their books instead of turning the pages, say teachers. This whole computer thing may be coming in too early, similar to how it's best to teach kids to tell the time with digital watches only after they can do it from a clock face.
