The added advantage in african american children's education...Computer Homeschooling (Part3) We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit how 'bout you!
In our last article our subject was finding resources to homeschool african american children using
Internet and other avenues. In part 3 of 4 we will champion use of computers to teach our african american children and prepare them for future where computers will be involved in almost every aspect of our society.
Recent news came out that John Singleton, director of Boyz N Hood has joined ranks of other high profile directors in game design development. Video games these days, like ones your children are probably playing are not only big business, but they also have small movies in them. These directors are becoming involved in video game design because it's a natural extension of their talents.
I'm mentioning this because if your child is playing video games now, with proper development in coming years they could be prepared for video game development. The first step is getting them used to using a computer and then adding other skills in software programs that will help them in future. An example is a powerful graphics program Adobe Photoshop, getting them to dabble now while they are young (and my 9 year-old nephew is better at Photoshop than I am) and exposing them to a formal class later (he had class) will put them on road to careers that are way above pay at your local burger place.
