In this day and age it’s not enough just to have access to broadband internet or a smartphone, you’ve got to know how to use it. If your kids are growing up but you feel they’re behind on their technology knowledge here are a few ways to get them back ahead of the curve:
1. Sign them up for classes: Most community colleges and even some public schools offer extracurricular classes dedicated to teaching kids technology. If they’re not learning enough in regular school, consider this as an option.
2. Get them online at home: Sometimes kids don’t get much access to computers at school which is why you should have a child-friendly laptop at home. They can surf the web (with supervision, of course) and learn the basics of doing homework online.
3. Start them on a phone: Your children should probably have a phone for emergencies anyway and if you get them a smartphone, you can control a lot of what goes in and out. They’ll learn to manipulate the web to their advantage and become more proficient with things like touch screens and buttons.
