Our preschoolers (2 and 4) use Winamp with a Pokemon skin. It's the
|
|
2-yr-old who figured out he could put it into a sidebar menu so all
|
|
he need do is click there to launch their favourite MP3 playlist.
|
|
|
|
What /we/ need is a good "barely literate" email program. Years ago
|
|
the university of Hawaii had a word processor that included a
|
|
voice-assist and also would pop up menus for common completions as
|
|
words were typed; even further back there was a DOS shareware editor
|
|
that did that latter function extremely well (targetted at the
|
|
handicapped). With just those little bits of assists, maybe some
|
|
clever use of pictograms too, I bet kindergarten kids could handle
|
|
email.
