Back by popular demand:

What technology does YOUR child or you need to learn to get that job and
live out your dreams? Over 80-90% of the world uses a smartphone and
computer so put that at the top of the list—all else is gravy—Great gravy
but it is extra, not the primary tool. Read the stats and be prepared NOW
and in the future. Read: What technology does your child or students need
to learn today-- to be prepared for tomorrow’s job market?

In addition, make sure you are learning how to use cloud based skills as
the world is in The era of cloud computing
<http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/the-era-of-cloud-computing/?_r=0>
and moving fast in this direction of sharing and working in the cloud and
moving away from hard drives: Students need to be collaborating online with
peers and sharing docs on demand. Watch as a student accesses google drive
and moves around a virtual document: Google drive ease of access with
talking software
<http://www.yourtechvision.com/content/google-drive-assessible-talking-software-virtual-lesson>



If you want to learn a foreign language https://www.duolingo.com/ is
completely accessible with keyboard commands and tricks and once you enable
flash (yes, its dialog box is accessible also to enable it), you can even
do the speaking lessons and have duolingo check your pronunciation. My
students love this site and my Bosnian student increased her English skills
through its use also.



If you just need a boost in all the potential in a child—read The Indelible
Spirit and Potential of YOUR Child
