Educational Technology
Keep it simple. It is wise to use the technology
that actually enriches and expands our lives, while simply leaving out the things
that do not really benefit our health.
The Four Devices ~ High Tech
We do not recommend earplugs, habitual use of cell phones, or mindless Internet
activity. But after research, we can honestly recommend four devices for home use:
a computer for writing and research, a Kindle for accessible/affordable reading,
a Bose music system for clear and natural listening, and a pocket camcorder for making
fun home videos.

Bose Wave Music System
The Bose Wave Music System
produces a profoundly natural sound that is almost hard to believe that one
small unit could sound so good. Its value to music is clarity and the
fundamental lack of distortion. Listening to it is as close as it gets to
hearing acoustic musicians playing in your living room. You'll never regret
owning this music system. It is marvelous.

Noise Canceling Headphones
We highly recommend using only these headphones for enhanced sound and ear
protection, and never put any listening device directly inside of the ear.
Hearing loss by using ear buds is documented abundantly.

Pocket Video Cameras
These little cameras are easy to use, inexpensive, and offer a lot of fun
and skill building.
