Happy Learning by Little Gamers

Every kid loves the newest technology; learning games, strategy games, entertainment games, watching video clips on YouTube.  Our kids are no exception.    To say that learning how to use the technology starts at a young age and that mastered skills are the outcome is certainly no exaggeration.

Connor as a wee tot playing a computer game, using commands to pass through doors, down corridors, etc:

One of Ramsey's newest favorites is a strategy game called "Thinkrolls 2" that involves careful contemplation of moving blocks, popping balloons, putting out fires, etc, to maneuver through mazes.  Everything must be done in a precise sequence to finish the map and proceed to the next maze.   Here, he's having some "alone time" in our bedroom, playing his Kindle.

Together, Connor and Ramsey are bonding over Scribblenauts tactics (Connor is being a great Big Brubby and showing Ramsey some new ways to accomplish his mission):

Sidenote: Yes, our kids do have "limits" for their usage of devices but it amazes us how much actual learning can be done while having fun.
