February 2009 issue of Good Housekeeping has several articles about technology. The first is about a mom who wanted to learn more about Club Penguin so she created an avatar and checked it out. She found there were some interesting games which were age appropriate, but was very upset about the sexual innuendo and flirting. Read more of her article here at Good Housekeeping online.

The second article remarks about several sites including tikatok.com where kids can create their own storybook complete with self made illustrations. Another site recommended is makebeliefscomix.com. Kids (ages 4 and up) can create comic strips using built in characters, by filling in the text bubbles. FREE The third site is a FREE crossword puzzle generator. Completed puzzles can be printed.
