Very pleased to find an open window on our computer today.
My children home school and do all of their work and studying online. Needing to search for something, I woke up the monitor to find my sons schoolwork open. He was working on math which can be a struggle for him occasionally. Another tab was opened on the same window to Khan Academy. It was a video lesson regarding the math problems he was working on at the time. I have been wondering why he hasn’t been asking for help lately. It turns out that he’s learned how to go out and find the solutions to problems on his own. I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s not that I don’t want to help him out. I do. But more than that, i want him to learn how to go out on his own and find the answers he needs.
We live in an amazing time. Anything you want to learn, ANYTHING, can be found with a few keystrokes.
The future belongs to those who can figure out how to google it.
As an aside, if you have friends who ask questions of you that could have been answered in the same amount of time had they just googled it, this is for you.
