I think young children need to learn about computers because technology is an ever advancing area and i belive soon everything will revolve around technology and for a child not to know that would be bad.. i belive that it can help them learn also while hurting them if they get addicted to the computer or stare at it too long...

Computers Have Changed Our Lives\nby Patricia Wong\n\n    It’s amazing how computers have changed our lives. For example, computers have made work easier. Before computers, work took more time, because everything was manual and had to be printed, so finding files and information was difficult and slow. In contrast, now every office and business uses computers.  Places like stores, restaurants, offices, hospitals, police departments, airports, etc, use computers because computers can keep a lot of information which is organized in files or programs and easy to find in one place and in a short time. Besides, computers can control machinery and engines faster and efficiently than if someone has to do it personally. Also, computers have influenced our everyday life. Before the computers, for example, we use to buy things personally, by mail or by phone. But with computers, we can buy anything and request information about items that we want in short time and without the necessity of going to the stores.  Also, with computers we have the possibility of playing games, reading books, listening to music, watching movies, pictures, etc. in only one place and very fast without the necessity of going to different places. Furthermore, cars are equipped with computers such as, those that can inform us about the temperature, if the engine has a problem, open a window by pressing a button or finding a street. In addition, we can chat or e-mail someone wherever and whenever we want in a short time and with the certainty that this person has received our message and will have an answer very soon.      Otherwise, computers have changed the way that we can learn in school. We can use the computer as a word processor that is more comfortable and easier to use than a typewriter. With the computer, we can get a lot of information quickly from the Internet so we don’t have to go to the library and look for a lot of books. In addition, computers help us to keep a lot of information and process it quickly and them use it anytime. As you can see, there are some examples of how computers have changed our life and made it more comfortable and easy.\n\n\n\nhope  this  will  help  u

It's good you're trying to get a computer to help with school. It helps when you need to type up essays and research papers, etc. for your classes. You will also need it for researching projects. If you don't have a computer at home you'll end up spending extra time at the school to do your research and typing there.

A common habit of teenagers is using Yahoo Answers too much.\n\nA positive effect of teenagers using Yahoo Answers is the feeling they know something that other's don't know. It gives them a feeling of self-worth.\n\nA negative effect of teenagers using Yahoo Answers is the feeling they know something that other's don't know. It gives them a false feeling of self-worth.

The ability to think without copying something from dictionary.com or wikipedia....\n\nSeriously, though, I think that we should consider issues of power differentials in the construction of who is intelligent.  For example, black high school students in the US are more likely to be diverted in vocational rather than college preparation tracks.  Also, the concept of "intelligence" has also been used to justify colonialism, historically and today.

Just an idea, you could start out with "Do any of you know the true effects of television and the internet of the youth of today. Then start to explain what you think or know. Good Luck Hope this is what you are looking for.

Science and technology can be experienced in many different ways, particularly in reference to the things that interest children. When children are a little older (3-5), they enter into the Foundation Stage curriculum, and science comes under the heading of 'Knowledge and Understanding of the World'. \n\nIf a child is interested in something, the best thing to do is to help them find out all they can about the topic, say, Pirates. for example. You could use the internet to find out about pirates, what they looked like, how they spoke, what they did, where they came from etc. and use what they find out to play a game, maybe even turn the sofa into a pirate ship for the day :) Children love to learn, and like it even more when it's something they care about.\n\nI know this is a very general idea on science and technology, but it can be applied to lots of situations. Hope this helps.

pros:  Your kids are free to learn based on their own pace, and delve deeper into thier own interests.  \n\nCons:  Your kids learn from you, so if you have bad habits they will have them too.  Evaluate your self before you start...\n\nand create a good group of friends with kids aged 2-3 years younger and older than your kids.

I think I may have done the same project at school for GCSE.\nFirst of all mine was about how play helps a childs development and different ways they learn. \nThere are Four types of development\nP.I.E.S\nPhysical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social. \nThe way I did it was to play different games with the child to help their development and then write how you think it helps.\nExample: Playing with a ball- physical. \nPlaying with a ball with friends- physical and social.\nReading a book- Intellectual.\nWays of observation, writing it down, filming with a camcorder, collecting work the child has done.\nOne thing we did was make sock puppets which were intellectual and then social, it also gave me a chance to see the way the child thought. \nAlso you have to learn what games for which years.\n\nThe first thing I did was lots of research into the ages of the children, if your project is like mine was then they need lots of evidence that you did the reasearch and probably a list of the websites. \n\nNext pick games, first of all they should be a least a bit fun, the child I did the project with had a short attention span, but because the games were short and fun, it was easier to keep his attention throughout. Also try to keep organised I did a timetable so I knew which I was doing when. \n\nAlso resourses since there are a lot of children you probably don't want to buy resources so if you have somethings like jigsaw puzzles. Because the child I obsereved was my brother, I could buy things and then he could have them to use afterwards, but I doubt you want to buy things for five children. I brought paint from a shop and it cost £1 for each bottle. So try to get stuff like these from somewhere else. \n\nNext when are you going to do it mornings are probaby best, in the afternoons kids tend to mess around more.\n\nUnless your doing this with someone else it will probably be hard to take care of all the children so do you want to do the observation while they are all toghethwer or when they are seperate.

Thats horrible, kids need social interaction and all but that is a looooong day for a 5 year old. Plus part of being a kid is just being left to your own imagination and inventing games yourself.Being stuck in a structured school classroom for 8 hours is horrible for young kids.

Yes, taking an at home incentive to help your children with their typing skills would be a great help for them. \n\n The public schools have such a limited time to work with  each child on their typing skills that it takes the children alot longer to become acquainted with the keyboard and learn to do it with speed and accuracy. (Plus I make up timed internet search 'treasure hunts' to help the children learn to do web searches.) And not only will it help your children but it will allow the teacher extra time to spend with children who don't have access to an at home PC (or a willing parent to help them learn this.)\n\n My grandchildren and I play the free Yahoo Word Games. Our favorite is "Typer Shark" (you have type words shown accurately and quickly or the shark eats you). These games have not only been fun for us but educational in the childrens spelling and typing speed. And they think of it as a fun reward for doing their chores and their homework, too!

Of course technology leads to social isolation in some situations. For instance, the people holed up in their houses for days on end with game systems. Being on the internet constantly...I could go on and on. I have though of it before, and the impact on our society as a whole, but we have to change with it. There are positive aspects, too, such as making deadlines at work via working 'over' at home, e-mailing and IMs to people who you wouldn't normally be able to contact due to high long distance costs, etc.
