One of the reasons I love so much is because I know it is a place all four of our kids will be safe to use. Their tech time and what they are allowed to do online is dependent on their maturity, self-control, and what they can handle emotionally. Maddie has more freedom than Naomi and Titus, and they have more freedom than Timmy does. things they will need to know to be competitive in the careers they choose. We want them to know the ins and outs of social media, how to run a computer and other need to know tech. While there is a real danger on social media, we want to train our kids to be technically savvy. Stranger danger exists as much online as it does offline and it is disgusting. What is the harm in that? Now as a blogger and a social media manager, social media has the ability to terrify me as a parent. It was a fun tool I used to keep connected with friends and family. Will they be able to navigate away from the game? Will ads pop up on their screen? Before I became a blogger, I was ignorant of the real power (both positive and negative) of social media. One of the things we consider when allowing our kids to use an online learning tool is how safe it is to use. One of the consistent learning tools we have used is. This sit-down time is also the time they tell us what they thought went well and the areas they felt frustrated or didn’t like. I get excited as we sit down with each of our kids to discuss their goals for the year, what kind of books they want to read and to hear each of their passions, dreams, and goals. We determine if we will continue using our current curriculum or if we need to switch. Spring is also the time of year we assess where our kids are at in their learning journey. I love the warmer weather, beautiful flowers and I look forward to the MACHE homeschool conference held in April.
