There is absolutely no substitution for the human/teacher connection, in my opinion. I won't lie - I've used a DVD or an "educational" cartoon to babysit my kid(s) on numerous occasions and I've often justified it by choosing something deemed educational...but in no way do I believe that the video could substitute what I am able to teach them or what their family/teachers are able to teach them.

I worry that our children will grow up unable to communicate verbally at all. They email. They text. They don't ever speak like we did. They stay up until 4am texting, while we stayed up until 4am talking. That worries me. However in today's world, you have no choice but to teach them technology and to teach it to them vigorously. It is the way the world is now and while we should still try to foster a love of human contact with our children, we can't deny that technology has to be a huge part of their curriculum.

I think your website project was fantastic! I think it was great!
