To make sure your child is equipped with the right skills, take a look at the list below.
Typing
Using a keyboard is one of the first computer skills a young child develops. By middle school, children should be able to type proficiently with two hands. To make typing even easier, have your child practice his or her typing skills with apps like Type-Fu.
Digital communication
Computers offer many different communication channels, such as email, chat, and social media posts. To use these channels correctly, your child needs to understand how messages should change depending on the context. For example, it’s fine to use emoticons and poor punctuation in an email to a friend, but an email cover letter to an employer must be formal and precise.
Online etiquette and safety
Another lesson that children learn early on is how to use the computer appropriately. You may have taught your child to avoid suspicious sites and emails, stay safe on social networks, prevent digital eyestrain, and communicate with others respectfully. After all, the rules of virtual classroom etiquetteapply to your child’s time on the computer.
Computer organization
One of your child’s responsibilities can be to keep his or her computer files organized. That means neatly arranging files in labeled folders, not saving them to the desktop. Check the student’s computer maintenance checklist to see if your child knows all of the guidelines.
Using web browsers
Children have a better experience browsing the Internet when they know the basics of web browsers. Make sure your child is familiar with the major browsers—Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome—and knows how to add websites to “Bookmarks” or “Favorites.” Older students should learn how to clear a browser’s history, cache, and cookies to fix browser performance issues. The web browser’s respective add-on galleries can provide helpful add-ons to customize and improve the browsing experience.
Online research
Online research skills are crucial for students in middle school and high school. Besides understanding how to use search engines, your child must learn how to identify legitimate resources, fact-check information, and cite online sources in papers. Picking up these research techniques will also help your child beyond high school.
