Welcome To Ponder This! Pondering The Robot Preference


Do you ever wonder what other early childhood professionals think about topics related to this podcast?  We hear from you, but you don't get to communicate with each other.  We are excited to offer you this "Ponder this" page on our website.  We hope that you will revisit ideas with us, let us know what you do or added to your practices, and, even more importantly, learn from and ask questions of each other.  


For our first Ponder This, let's think about Episode 235 - "The Robot Preference."  In the episode, we discuss studies about whether children prefer human interactions or technology if the technology has the right answers.

What do you think?  Do you prefer correct answers or human interaction? What do you want to encourage children to seek - humans who can make mistakes or technology that is always right?
