Although questions fuel children's learning, adult "cell phone use" may preoccupy parents, affecting the frequency of questions parents and children ask and answer. We ask whether parental cell phone use will lead to a decrease in the number of questions children and parents ask one another while playing with a novel toy. Fifty-seven…

In this column, I discuss a soundscape composition activity that I implemented with primary/elementary music classes. During this activity, students used the iPad app, iMovie, to record, organize and edit sound to accompany photos of artworks that they had created. Overall, I found iMovie to be a useful app for music composition with general music…

Despite the pervasive use of wireless technology in today's society, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have limited access to technology. Technology is underutilized by this population for a variety of reasons including cost-related barriers and cognitive inaccessibility of devices and software applications. The lack of…

Finding ways to utilize technology to engage the digital generation with the outdoors is important for many reasons. Spending time outside is associated with improvement in mental and physical health which has been demonstrated to decline with high users of technology. Positive outdoor experiences help shape conservation behavior which is…
