Beyond the cellophane seal: Evaluating software and websites for early childhood
Description
Software and websites need to be carefully evaluated by adults to determine their appropriateness for children. The difficulty however, is that adults do not always have the background to evaluate their appropriateness (Haugland, 1997). This paper provides insights into softwatre and website evaluations for early childhood contexts. In doing so, it seeks to raise several issues that act as barriers to approrpriate evaluation.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
