Back by popular demand:<br>
<br>
What technology does YOUR child or you need to learn to get that job and<br>
live out your dreams? Over 80-90% of the world uses a smartphone and<br>
computer so put that at the top of the list—all else is gravy—Great gravy<br>
but it is extra, not the primary tool. Read the stats and be prepared NOW<br>
and in the future. Read: What technology does your child or students need<br>
to learn today-- to be prepared for tomorrow’s job market?<br>
<<a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/content/what-technology-does-your-child-or-students-need-learn-today-be-prepared-tomorrow%E2%80%99s-job">http://www.yourtechvision.com/content/what-technology-does-your-child-or-students-need-learn-today-be-prepared-tomorrow%E2%80%99s-job</a>><br>

<br>
In addition, make sure you are learning how to use cloud based skills as<br>
the world is in The era of cloud computing<br>
<<a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/the-era-of-cloud-computing/?_r=0">http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/the-era-of-cloud-computing/?_r=0</a>><br>
and moving fast in this direction of sharing and working in the cloud and<br>
moving away from hard drives: Students need to be collaborating online with<br>
peers and sharing docs on demand. Watch as a student accesses google drive<br>
and moves around a virtual document: Google drive ease of access with<br>
talking software<br>
<<a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/content/google-drive-assessible-talking-software-virtual-lesson">http://www.yourtechvision.com/content/google-drive-assessible-talking-software-virtual-lesson</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you want to learn a foreign language <a href="https://www.duolingo.com/">https://www.duolingo.com/</a> is<br>
completely accessible with keyboard commands and tricks and once you enable<br>
flash (yes, its dialog box is accessible also to enable it), you can even<br>
do the speaking lessons and have duolingo check your pronunciation. My<br>
students love this site and my Bosnian student increased her English skills<br>
through its use also.<br>
<br>

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