Are you making the most of your kids' screen time? With some gentle nudging (and with the help of some stellar apps and websites), your computers and devices can activate your kids' productivity and creativity.

A big thank you to Carley Knobloch, personal tech expert, TODAY Show contributor, and host of Digitwirl, who helped us come up with this list of A+ resources and activities.

Reading

The convenience of digital books is undeniable. You and your child can get instant access to tons of titles, and e-readers are super handy for roadtrips and family travel. If you're careful, you could even save money on books! (But based on our experience, it's pretty hard to pull that off.)
