05/30/2005 Entry: "Kids and Computers"

Eric Mack describes what he's doing to get his four kids to be computer literate. I want to do this with our 2-year-old grandson, soon! He links to previous entries on his blog with details on specific things he's done with them.

• Start early. Expose your children to computers as early as possible
• Be creative in explaining how computers work
• Be selective about the software that they use
• Build a LEGO robot and program it to do something
• Join a FIRST Jr. Robotics Team
• Let them build their own computer
• Let them take a computer apart
