I would like to correct one statement, however. Webkinz is the invention of GANZ, not gund as stated in the interview. Fascinating talk, with lots of excellent thoughts.

Kids 3-5 bring a whole separate set of opportunities and challenges, but fortunately, most of these little ones use the computer with a parent or older sibling, so the interactions are somewhat influenced. Pictograms are a great way to communicate concepts, for kids as well as adults. My Twitter handle is @dgelman if anyone has questions or wishes to connect. Thanks, Brett!

I appreciate the effort you make in regards to explaining how and why children learn and interact with their digital environment. The sites that I designed were for children ages 3-5. It was a real eye opener while receiving feedback from these kids who couldn't always articulate what they were trying to say properly. The biggest solution to invoke interactivity with the site was to place pictograms as navigation instruments instead of icons and wording. Your focus on kids ages 7-11 has also been educational and will remain in my knowledge library should the needs arise to design for this demographic. A very informative podcast Debra.
