[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read an article that said that the parents in Silicon Valley are discouraging their kids to use computers so much.  I have a friend whose son lives there and she says this is true of her grandchildren.  They want the kids to play.[/quote]

Haven't these articles been around for almost a decade now?

Computing skills are logic skills. Those are best learned in middle school (the developing brain is going to be a little hit or miss on them before that). Until then, just teach the kids tons of content about their surroundings and give them hands on experiences to begin to abstract from.[/quote]

A k kid learning to log onto a computer is NOT logic skills. Using a keyboard is NOT logic. It is a skill that will more easily be picked up later in life and the attention used to watch animation/video is a different kind of attention than that used to look at still images not to mention near vs far distance sight needed for far point vs near point seeing. We are literally developing kids brains WRONG when using technology early. Read some research before you act like you know something. If you can’t I have plenty of links for you[/quote]
