Screen Free Week: The Wrong Conversation

April 29, 2013November 24, 2017Amy Kraft14

As someone who makes games for kids to play on screens, I’m not a fan of the Center for a Commercial Free Childhood’s Screen-Free Week, which begins today.

Geek Lifts Off On Lemon Education

November 23, 2010December 15, 2017GeekMom10

Education systems are a mess the world over. We know this, but we are dauntless geek parents. When we’re given a lemon situation, we don’t just make lemonade; we make rocket fuel! I don’t actually know if it’s possible or wise to launch a rocket using citrus, but if that’s what it takes to keep […]

IRL Lessons: Declaring Recess From Screen Time

October 26, 2010GeekMom28

“Mom! I can spell your name!” Look at him: Only four years old and fearlessly riding the wave of the future.
