Thanks to the Museum's years of creating and testing interactive learning exhibits, the Computer Museum Guide has a unique perspective - and exceptionally high expectations - about children's software.
We believe the computer can be far more - and far better - than a quiz master, drilling kids on math facts or state capitals.
We favor software that uses technology to let kids learn by doing ... that encourages kids to create ... to experiment ... to make choices ... to solve problems (or better still, to create problems to solve!) ... that creates a compelling environment for exploration. That stimulates kids' natural curiosity and satisfies their intrinsic need to learn.
Guided by expectations like these, the Museum created a book that serves as a road map to the best things a child can do with a computer. We think you'll find that The Computer Museum Guide charts a quick route to the best titles for your child's age, interests and learning style.
