Item of interest chapter 8:Teachers Helping Parents

As educators, we can help parents; they look up for advice on whether their child is ready for technology. A child's education can be greatly enhanced by their parents' involvement in the classroom and at home. We can communicate with parents about their child's progress. We’ll find great advice on how parents can support their child's development. Tapping in to the support of parents will enable you to teach more effectively. A good idea is parent-teacher conferences, at an open house, and throughout the school year. When you and parents make things together can help children gain confidence in their technology skills, also talking and listening are a very important part of the learning process; Understanding the right way to teach technology is only a small piece of the puzzle.

Item of interest chapter 7:Video Games - Good or Bad?

Whenever someone mentions the words video games people think of violence shooting and bad influence on children. But that is not true at all people need to embrace upon the idea of video games teach many things. Video games are indeed good for our teens. They are not just acceptable; they are not simply to be tolerated, they are good. Typically, if you do it right, video games will keep your teen off the streets, hopefully further away from drugs, and in your house at night. Is that all bad? If your teen has the right video games he or she is less likely to wander around the house mumbling "There's nothing to do."
I believe video games are good for teens but always pay attention to what your teen is playing and buy games will help your kids. Don't get so uptight about adult themes either. This is cartoons folks, drawings, graphics, animation; not life. Put a little bit of trust in your own child's ability to handle fantasy. They'll be just fine.
Why do we think they will become violent if they watch violence? Why do we, force the connection between video violence and out of control teens but not acknowledge any of the other clearly present potential relationships? I will tell you why, because none of the popular talk show hosts have made that connection yet. We need to trust and also overseeing their video games.
