Here are four ways computers can support emotional development, along with specific software recommendations for each category.
Software can facilitate collaboration.
Programs that take children on an adventure create an excellent opportunity for diverse groups to work together. Challenging puzzles, with a Wild West theme, also foster collaboration. For example, to discover the rustlers' identities and locate the hogfish, Freddi and Luther have to find a hat, belt, and other rustler attire scattered around the ocean floor. Keeping track of characters and items is tricky, but children will quickly discover that when solving problems like these, two heads can be better than one. Software can aid communication.
