To Narrate or Not to Narrate

Much has been written about how iPad apps are, or should be used, with children. 

The question of narration always seems to come up in this conversation. At this point in time, I have to confer with Carisa at Digital Storytime, if an app does not include narration they probably will not make it. Most narration can be turned off if the user, or parent prefers, but all storytime apps, at this time and forward, should have narration as a feature. It’s up to the parent as to how it it used.

Join Carisa on her website for her full article, which brings a great prospective to the debate.
