Tips for parents
| encourage your children to carry on touch typing. They can download my typing cards and practise those or alternatively buy a typing programme like Mavis Beacon or Eureka Typing instructor. To find out more read my software reviews | ||||
| children should use the computer for as much of their homework as possible | ||||
| choose carefully when purchasing software, some are only game value. A good piece of software would be one where children may have to use other resources such as atlases, or dictionaries. "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?' is a good example of that | ||||
| some of the Logo programmes are marvellous for extending children, such as Microworld or any of the Lego programmes | ||||
| if you allow your children on the internet ensure
that they know how to be safe users
| ||||
| http://www.yahooligans.com/ is a safe site for children to search for information | ||||
| using computers is like learning how to play tennis, you need to practice. Encourage your children to practise their new skills and use them in their future work in school |
