RE: Children and Smartphones: The Ecotrain Question of the Week

in #ecotrain7 years ago

Don't have anything to add to this, you got it covered mama.

They can borrow mine only if we're on a road trip. They can own one if they can buy it.

We have old PCs they can use to do school work and learn typing, photo editing, video editing etc.

I'm going to have to wait and see when my children are old enough to go out by themselves. There might not be smartphones by then.

Children are very capable and learn so fast. My son @futurefarmers is already figuring out shortcut keys hahaha I usually use Ctrl+F and he says, use F3.

Sort:  

What shortcuts are we talking about and where can I learn them?

hahaha when I'm on a browser and I need to find a word i use Ctrl+F for Find. My son says, just press F3 mom.

I'm not sure where he found it. He said he was just pushing the function keys and figured out it was a shortcut for find.

Nice. I pick up new tricks all the time.

I think it's super important for them to have to buy their own things. They take way better care of them that way too.
Kids are always so quick with technology. Even my daughter who isn't really into tech knows so much more than I do.
