How to limit your child's screen time and avoid media addiction.
Three tips for keeping kids out of trouble online. How you can
help at home: Have your child make an invitation on the
computer. Third graders learn the names of various computer
parts and how to use a mouse to maneuver items on the screen.
Fourth graders may do Internet research and use various types of
software to complete activities that build on their classroom
learning. By the end of fifth grade, your child should
demonstrate advanced keyboarding skills to edit her work.
Kindergartners use computers to kick-start learning in math,
social studies, and reading. When first graders use technology
in the classroom, they start using a keyboard and master terms
like menu, file, save, and quit. Your second-grader will learn
to use technology tools like clip art, email, and even simple
graphing software. How you can help at home: Your child will
learn to create his own family comic book. This activity builds
writing and computer skills.
