ABSTRACT
In this talk I will focus on the importance of designing new technologies for children and how children can change what we design. Our methods at the University of Maryland for design with children will be highlighted. In addition, examples of the work we have developed with these methods will be presented e.g., the International Children's Digital Library, http://www.childrenslibrary.org , Mobile Techologies for Collaborative Creation, http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/tangibleflags/TangibleFlags.shtml, Kidpad: a zooming storytelling tool, http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/kiddesign/kidpad.shtml).
Speaker: Allison Druin
