RE: UKNM: diy disasters....

[Jeremy Stone]

I've actually sat down and looked at http://www.bobthebuilder.org/

with a 2 and a half year Bob fan and it caused a few laughs and was ok.

Flash is certainly appropriate for pre-school content:

What appeals to 2/3/4 year olds: bright colours, songs, sound, large

character based graphics, speed (like all of us but more so for the under

5s..they;re twitchy buggers.)

is only deliverable through Flash/plug ins.

However pre-school sites are used in a variety of ways. Never ever kid only

anyhow.

(have you seen a 2 year old use a keyboard) but mostly as a parent resource

in which case

the clean, fast, plug in free type sites are appropriate.

http://www.sesamestreet.org is

a good example here. Parents also use them a lot for free print off content

and ideas for

games/days out etc but not much parent and child together either.

To be honest we are a few years off web/itv applications for this audience.

There have

been a few fledgling attempts that were ok (ie: interactive

toys..barney/tubbies) and

closed garden digital tv/ported web stuff which can be used with a tv remote

(now 3 year olds are comfortable with that.)

looks promising but web design solutions for toddlers.you try it !.give poor

Nicole a break.
