High-tech children's gadgets flooding the marketplace can confuse parents, and make it difficult for each Mom and Dad to separate cleverly-packaged items from truly educational toys. The task gets even more complicated now that high-tech toys are being marketed to children are still in diapers.

Others, unfortunately, are not," said Claire Green, president of the Parents' Choice Foundation (parents-choice.org), whose mission is to provide parents with enough information to participate wisely in their children's learning outside the classroom. The foundation spearheaded the Sandbox Summit, a series of conferences designed to illustrate how technology is changing the way kids play, learn and connect.
