The topic of this homeschooling post is the computer. I don't know about you, but my 3 year old can't get enough time on it. I actually have to limit his time because if it were up to him he'd probably be on the computer most of the day. In moderation though, I think they are an amazing learning tool (along with tablets and the like). Carter has gained so much from it and it's pretty mind blowing to watch him use the mouse and keyboard and navigate his way around like a pro!
Here are Carter's favorite sites:
(membership is required for this one, but they offer 30 days free. They have a free youtube channel as well.)
And on youtube Carter really enjoys videos from the Busy Beaver collection such as this one.
It is incredible to think how advanced kids are now when it comes to electronics. I remember when my elementary school got it's first computer! It was kept in the library and once a month we'd have computer time where you'd get a few minutes on it per person (mostly to play Oregon Trail). How far we've come!
