If you have read the previous posts, you may have picked up by now that while I devote two days of the week to the internet and technology, most posts are going to reference one of those two topics, so no difference today!
If you are a kid reading this or if you have kids of your own, you know that the internet is a pretty big place. You can read all kinds of information about just about anything that's on your mind, from tomorrow's weather to the latest celebrity sighting!
To all the kids out there, there is a message in all this: stay educated by reading about the history of the US and the world, understand the geography of our planet, and keep working on those math problems - and use the internet to your advantage. To the parents, help them find the resources online to stay educated. Kids today use computers and log onto the internet more than previous generations, encourage them to use the internet to supplement their education.
How do you use the internet to educate kids?
Not by studying online lecture notes and reading page after page of text. You do so by....... playing games!
Here's one resource that can help: http://www.kidsknowit.com/
There are some fun educational games where kids can learn more about history, geography, and even dinosaurs.
There are kids sections of news agencies websites, such as the BBC and PBS among others.
While these are kids games, it may not be so bad for adults to brush up on some math and spelling games as well, or do we think we're too good for it?
