]]> Comment on Being the “hands on the keyboard” for your mentor by Michele Z. http://www.mrmerlot.com/?p=683&cpage=1#comment-664 Michele Z. Fri, 28 May 2010 15:00:03 +0000 http://www.mrmerlot.com/?p=683#comment-664 I tried to do this (capturing knowledge) prior to my retirement from the IC. It was tough to do, because managers didn't see this as part of my "day job" or as part of wrapping up my work there. This sort of activity could (should?) be part of "out-proccessing" periods prior to retirement. I tried to do this (capturing knowledge) prior to my retirement from the IC.

My 6 year old son's favorite is Little Suitcase - its a game that fosters imagination by letting the child pick what kind of adventure he'd like to have, then pack for it, then explore a new place. My 3 year old likes Wheels On the Bus - which you wisely list above! Another big hit are the board books on the iPhone - great for waiting in lines - individual titles are developed by PicPocketBooks and a subscription service is offered by Tales2Go. All of the apps above are written by parents for parents. There's a growing list of us parent developers (50 so far..) who have banded together to make searching for good kid friendly content easier. We just started a site called www.momswithapps.com - for both moms and mr. moms! - to make it easier to find good iPhone apps. It showcases the apps as well as provide links to the kid friendly review sites. Great post!
