Yesterday was my daughter’s school’s back to school night for K-3 grade. There are some new changes compared to my son’s 4 year back. More and more computers are used even in younger grades. My daughter is in 1st grade. My wife is doing volunteer work at the school computer lab. 1st graders begin to learn how to use the basic word processing software. More and more standarized tests are facing out the pencil and paper method. It is easier for school to collect, summarize, analyze and report the results.
So, parents, it might be a good idea to let your small ones to get familiar with mouse and keyboard at home. You can let them play with it and teach them the basic cut/ copy / paste Ctl+x / Ctl+c / Ctl+v.
It will make their feel easier when they have to use computer to finish school works. 🙂
