Principles for the wise use of computers article...
Children are exposed to technology at such a young age now! I believe it is important they are taught computer skills in elementary school. I strongly believe that keyboarding should be a requirement in elementary schools. Children are having to teach themselves how to type on the keyboard and are forming bad habits which they are unable to break by middle school or high school. I believe computer use can be a positive effect on children. Computers are said to enhance academic performance. Getting information from the Internet versus a textbook is more exciting for children and they tend to enjoy it!
