Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 This is great, Rene, I have heard those touch screens work well. Congratulations and I look forward to hearing all the future improvements. [ ] Re: OT: touch screens > > The school has a touch screen on their monitor.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have tried two brands. The product from Dell did not last 3 months. The replacement I got from them did not work either. I bought a CRT from Elo that works great for about $350 http://www.posguys.com/monitor_34/Elo-TouchSystems-3000-Series_391/ I agree. This is a God-send for my guy (and me)! He spends hours per day on the computer playing games. --- joshisims <joshisims@...> wrote: > Today, for the first time, my son used the computer > at school.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Thanks, all, for your advice. I think we're going to take the plunge! Now, does anybody have any good software suggestions? :-) René Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Ours loved all the Reading Rabbit (I think) software. Another big hit for us was Barbie, but don't think that would actually work for you :-) [ ] Re: OT: touch screens Thanks, all, for your advice. I think we're going to take the plunge!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 You never know, he's been carrying his sister's Cinderella figurine around all week! Barbie might be just the thing.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 just go to: www.sesamestreet.com There are lots of games there to start with and of course you have... www.nick.com www.noggin.com I have the 3M's touch screen ($75 on eBay) and would you believe as soon as I got it...he had no interest in the computer. After a few weeks of turning it on and me using it...he started pushing me off the seat so he could get in there.... So play around with some games online before you head out and buy software & games at $20 a pop. See what interests him/her first. I do like the " Jump Start " series software.

My son loves Sweet Streets that we buy at Target, which are mostly pink and targeted toward girls. He uses them for lots of pretend play. In this picture, he made a house with Lincoln Logs, and then furnished and populated it with Sweet Streets furniture and people. http://www.danasview.net/2_log_house.jpg Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
