We were not even required to take a class to learn computer science at all. Now I know it is "normal" to have pc's in school from the early years.At any rate, I need some guidance on when to start teaching them-they pick stuff up so fast. My 5yo boy is far more savy using a tablet or smartphone than I even want to admit
He learned just by observing what his older sibs and I do. Blows me away how intuitive it seems to be....good golly, I feel like the dinosaur! Now I have a refurbished Dell laptop that I purchased to replace one with Vista that died last summer. It has Win 10 on it, so I am about to embark on the adventure of learning something new 
(as a veteran homeschooler back in the late 80's and 90's when it was weird) I have always believed turning on the desire to learn and stepping out in faith (if need be) to learn was one of our goals in teaching our own children. So I love learning. However our two young teens are another story. Our return to the Charlotte Mason methods is a step toward attempting to help them love learning. It has been slow, but they are so thrilled at our growing library that they are diving into good books and learning without even knowing it.
When I first told them about HOD, they were so unimpressed and reluctant. But they have a stubborn momma,who has recently seen them stop putting new books on the shelf because they get sidetracked by, of all things, a science book!But I am rambling...Does anyone have any suggestions onhow to incorporate the use of computers in their school day-not just for fun stuff, but using it as a tool they will likely need to know how to use later on? Is there a good book or tutorial anyone can recommend....sort of a Windows for dummies but more kid based? Any thoughts would be a big help.
