“Daddy, daddy,” my daughter said when she got in the car, “I got my Chromebook!”
My daughter has been wanting her computer all week. Today, she got what she wanted.
At home, we navigated through the following Chromebook-enabled features:
- Encyclopedia articles about dogs and cats (read out loud to us, btw)
- Games involving adding and subtracting hosted by an otter with a microphone
- Paint programs
- Narrated books
She dug it right up to the moment that the hated mousepad proved too difficult to maneuver as she played a game.
I will certainly be monitoring screen-time and the boons and bombs of Chromebook learning.
