   I am a strong believer that technology not only makes the learning process much more fun, but it also creates allows a more hands-on experience for kids! If you are interested in other educational products for kids, I would check out our educational apps!

   Hello Dr. Murray,
   So glad you posted on this topic. I’m a youth pastor in the Presbyterian church, and I’ve seen parents do one of two things:

   1.) Deny the reality of facebook. In other words, parents don’t allow their children near facebook, and so fail to teach them how to redemptively use technology in the future. This sets their children up for failure.

   2.) Deny the reality of facebook. I know, that was the same point. But really, parents who allow their children on facebook with no monitoring at all are simply out of touch.

   Thanks again.
