How can parents support their child’s computer education?
- Download a home computer typing program. You can purchase one, but there are also many free versions. Your local public library may be able to provide you with a free subscription.
- Ask them what they learned new for the week regarding a technical detail about the computer
- Ask them to demonstrate using a word-processing program and create a paragraph or two for you
- Ask them to demonstrate creating powerpoint-type slide shows
- Encourage them to read and take reading practice quizzes through the Accelerated Reader program
