  "MaMaMedia prides itself on creating innovative, meaningful ways to marry the power of the computer with the potential of the child," says Idit Harel, Ph.D., the founder and CEO of MaMaMedia. "The educational value of a Web site comes from stimulating the imagination, not just manipulating information," she explains.
  
  According to Harel, there is a fundamental set of new-media-literacy skills that all children should be expanding. "Activities on the site are meant to help kids develop the three X's: eXploration, eXpression, and eXchange of ideas and creations with digital media and technology tools," says Harel. She considers these skills to be as important as the three R's to the development of a successful citizen in the 21st century.
  
  "Good internet learning tools are just like a paintbrush or building blocks," says Harel.
  ...
  "The peace site provides a safe and expressive space for children to think about and share their feelings, display their digital creations, and exchange ideas about peace, fear and hope," says Harel.
  
  Harel established MaMaMedia in 1995 after years of study at the MIT media lab.
