The text discusses Brazil's recent elections in which electronic voting machines allowed results to be announced quickly. However, the country's courts were slower, ruling one day before the election that votes for barred candidates should be set aside. As a result, the final results are still uncertain, as 11 million votes went to ineligible candidates. Politicians can appeal their barred status, and if successful by December 31st, could replace candidates currently declared victors. Elections for lower congressional seats are also complicated, as surplus votes for candidates get passed to allies, but the courts have yet to determine if candidates can be elected this way if disqualified. Some candidates like the clown Tiririca, who won over 1.3 million votes despite

Monitoring Toddlers and Technology
The role of technology is increasing in various spheres of life and children have not been left behind as it plays a critical role in their lives. As globalization takes place, many early childhood education systems are developing a curriculum geared towards imparting tech skills for improved communication using digital devices to enhance their thinking. Besides, it is crucial to explore the relationship between technologies, emotions and resultant behaviors of toddlers since the amount of time they spent online has increased significantly. However, the digital environment exposes the children to vices such as cyberbullying that threatens to ruin the good reputation that the internet is offering to kids. Monitoring toddlers and technology is a significant process because it ensures that children gain new skills, improve their internet cognition, and are protected from cyberbullying.
Accordingly, technology plays a critical role in the development of new skills for children in their early years of development. In the article, “The Right Technology for Kids at Every Age,” Tahnk asserts that each baby development milestone is presently accompanied by technological aspects such as smartphones which helps to recognize the ways in which digital tools can be embedded in the minds of toddlers that helps to form ideas on literacy useful in the later stages of life (1). She declares that “if you a parent, you will be anxious to document a baby’s first steps, smiles, and as the toddlers start or go on with schooling, they already have an extensive understanding of comprehending meaningful interpretations of digital tools” (Tahnk, 1). Equally, Radesky in his article, “Mobile and Interactive Media Use by Young Children: The Good, the Bad, and the Unknown,” reports that most toddlers aged three to five years have access to a technological device in their homes and understand how to access information online (2). He found out that “most of the households that have toddlers have access to tablets which exposes the children to technology allowing them to learn new skills daily” (Radesky, 2). Thus, access to technology is allowing toddlers to learn new skills in a monitored environment in the home and school setting.
Besides, moderated technology access by toddlers allows them to gain enhanced internet cognition. AAP Council on Communications and Media on their article “Media and Young Minds” observe that over the years, the ability of toddlers to access the internet has grown exponentially due to the availability of internet in homes and technological devices that create exciting learning opportunities for children (3). They imply that “it has ended up increasing the digital literacy of most of the toddlers marked by an increase in the use of the internet by kids” (AAP Council on Communications.

The first few slides explain the direction of ICT and the strategy for Highland. The rest focus on online risks and responsible use. The 2 hrs were laced with short clips and active learning exercises.
In a presentation designed to help parents and caregivers make sense of their kids evolving use of the Internet, Cable in the Classroom (CIC) participated in the annual PTA Back-to-School Media Briefing in New York on August 10, 2006. Entitled "Parenting the MySpace Generation," the CIC presentation (delivered by Douglas Levin, Senior Director of Education Policy) featured new findings from surveys of parents and educators about how to ensure children use the Internet safely and responsibly.
Presentation materials - as well as a fact sheet and strategies for parents - can be found on our website at: http://www.ciconline.org/Enrichment/internetsafety/default.htm
