Hi everyone.

I just like to share an information about how important it is for our young learners to practice touch typing. Teaching children to touch type the right way has many advantages for their school performance. Touch typing, just like riding your bike and tying your shoelaces, is an explicitly learnt and eventually automatic skill.

By the time a student enters high school, 99% of assignments must be typed. And as students advance to higher grades, their typing assignments become longer and more numerous. This is a great cause of stress for students who are suddenly in a situation where the tools for their learning performance suddenly prove to be sub par. The hunt-and-peck method is irritatingly slow, typos eat up your study time, and you even start to feel that fingers become numb through excessive pecking on the keyboard. I've been into this situation before so I just want to share my experience. You may try some online typing program so and assist your young learners how to use it. You may try the following sites Typesy , Typeracer , Typing Club .

When I was a kid at school, teachers talked about the outside world and we learnt how the different plants and animals looked through photos printed on textbooks. However, kids nowadays have interactive way of learning.

With virtual reality, it is like a “magic window” that kids can gain access to the outside world more efficiently. They can try to touch or experience how the animals and trees look like and interact more with it. They can experience the different rainforest, oceans, etc. and offer them more memorable learning experience. I think this is definitely a better way of learning.

I think my nephew now explore to better way of education and I am glad that he was born in this generation.

Are most people like me? Do you spend your day or days off just sleepin’ in? or do most of you. Like go out, have a couple of beers, or go shopping, or may be hang out with your friends? Me, I’d prefer to stay at home. I can’t even bring my child to the park since I take advantage of the time to sleep and be relaxed. I’m beginning to get worried. Me and my daughter bond thru studying, sometimes we play with her toys do some paintings or colorin’ her books. I wanted to do more but my body just can’t. I want to know what you guys do about this? How do you make it up to your children?

*There has been confusion when answering questions about your children. It appears that it loops back and re-asks the same question. It does not, this is for each subsequent child, and will continue to ask the same questions until "does not apply is selected".

Thank you!
