Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." {Arthur Clarke} Let’s use this board as a place to pin (and more importantly talk about) which interactive games, mobile phone aps, or gadgets our kids are using. How are you wielding technology to become a better parent? Do you have a handy meal planning program you love, a favorite family photo website, etc? Share your “magic” with us!!! PS: Geek Pins are welcome too of course!

amy mascott @teachmama hey fellow tech moms. . . would you take your family to a conference like this? do you encourage your family to join you in your techy-endeavors, or is it something you do solo?
{Infographic: The New Nanny} Many parents seem to think gadgets don’t just keep kids occupied — they can also help them grow and learn. 77% of parents think tablets are beneficial to kids, and 77% think they help develop creativity, according to Schools.com’s findings. More than a quarter of parents have downloaded apps for their kids. The top genres? Fun, at 46%; education, at 42%; and creative, at 28%. Do you think smartphones and tablets do more to help or hurt the development of kids today?

15 likes 1 comment 70 repins
Jen Vogt I have a DSLR, I'm just missing the kids. I take vacations to Disney all the time and can't imagine lugging my DSLR around, even for the great photos. I know my opinion will probably change once I have kids, but I also wouldn't want my bulky camera to get in the way of having fun. Plus, I'm very paranoid that I'll lose it on a ride or drop and break it...that cross body strap sounds like a great solution!

{Sheryl Sandberg Leaves Work at 5:30 — And You Should Too} "Somewhere along the line, ending one’s workday before 8:00 p.m. became a source of shame and sign of laziness — or at least that’s what many of us have tricked ourselves into believing." It is nice to see a prominent woman standing up for her beliefs. I strongly believe a daily family meal is vital. Other opinions?

Tiffany Barker I absolutely don't love this idea. I think putting more of your personal info in an electronic format while convenient...makes you more vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud.

{This Amazing Device Just Made Wheelchairs Obsolete for Paraplegics} How cool is this?!? It will be on the market in Turkey this week, and the company is looking for outlets in Europe and the United States, where it will cost about fifteen thousand dollars. Here's hoping insurance will cover it.

{Future iPhone May Be Made Out of Glass} Apple has filed a patent application that describes a handheld device with a case made entirely out of glass. Such a case could be formed from a “hollow glass tube” or two pieces of glass bonded together. The material would be radio transparent, and the device could be hermetically sealed and thus water resistant.

Carter Anderson II won't interfere with frequency... but this WILL interfere with reception. with 802.11g, you always have to take how many walls the signal has to go through.
Jim Motta It won't interfere with the frequency, but might cut down on the range a bit. But if you have a small home or apartment it will be fine. Oh yeah, I'm doing this now :)
Marja-liisa Grainger Tenkula I love this but will it catch fire? or is this ok it does not get to hot?

Too funny. {Wood-Burning iPhone Charger} Here’s another one for the zombie apocalypse survival kit. You can now cook a pack of Ramen and charge your iPhone at the same time. You’ll be able to eat some noodles while making a call on your wood-smoke-smelling phone from the backcountry (provided cell towers still have power). The BioLite CampStove converts heat generated from your stove into electricity to charge USB gadgets. I suspect it’s not the most efficient charger in the world, but it’s the only one that will still works off a campfire.

{A law that could shut Pinterest down?} If you are not freaked out by SOPA/PIPA, please: for the next four minutes, instead of checking Facebook statuses, seeing who mentioned you on Twitter, or Pinning, stop and watch this video. With the way Pinterest works, this would affect us all. SPREAD THE WORD BY RE-PINNING. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
