³This year’s jurors had a big job as they sorted through some impressive products,² said Warren Buckleitner, Editor, Children¹s Technology Review. “I feel the winners accurately reflect the maturation of movement and touch based platforms.”
“quote from Robin,” said Robin Raskin, founder, Living in Digital Times.
The judges for this year¹s KAPi Awards consisted of a panel of 13 respected journalists and/or expert children’s interactive media publishers who used conference calls and layers of online polling to narrow the selections. To protect the validity of the award, some of the judges were not permitted to participate in categories in which they had a product. In other words, they could not vote for themselves. 2012 KAPi Jurors included:
