Tablets and Kids: Creative Opportunities with Apps Empowering Young Children

My buddy and colleague Wouter Sluis-Thiescheffer and I recently got the chance to present at this year’s EuroIA Conference. We had a great time discussing cool UX (User Experience) and IA (Information Architecture) stuff with great minds in the field.

Our Presentation

Thanks to tablets, children are becoming important consumers of digital content.Here are the slides, but let me quickly summarize our main points:

  1. Tablets have made children important consumers of digital content.
  2. The digital content offering doesn’t yet meet children’s needs as it could.
  3. So, we need to learn more about kids and their relevant human factors…
  4. …and listen to them to help them guide our design processes.

UPDATE: We updated this talk for TWAB in Amsterdam; here’s the new version!
