[OPLINTECH] Reading Literacy System (software/OS ect)

[Don Yarman]

We have the AWE stations. If you've got the money and don't want
to devote much energy to providing computers to preschoolers,
they're fine. Personally, I think that's a lot of money to pay for
Reader Rabbit.

We weighed some alternatives. We use KidZui for our schoolage/
tween computers. Our children's librarians looked at Zoodles,
ABC Mouse, and PBS Kids Play, eventually selecting the latter.
We'll be moving to that when our AWE contract is up.

Currently listening to "Stiff" by Mary Roach, and
reading "Man in the Empty Suit" by Sean Ferrell.
