Developing Internet Educational Materials For Children
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. There is little question that technology has given considerable advantage to learning skills of students ages seven through twelve, not only serving to improve present learning skills but also setting the stage for increased capability later on in school as well. Part of the challenge of acquiring a good, sound education is getting the student interested in the lesson plan; while some are inherently good students, others require the extra added incentive that such technological advances as computer access offers. However, the child's interaction with the computer is only as effective as his or her overall skills, which, as studies have begun to note, are just as essential as is understanding the various programs. The writer discusses interactive Internet education as it relates to seven to twelve-year-old children. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
