Getting to know the computer always starts with the basics – basic commands, programs, and user skills. All of this will help your child become familiar with the technology and use it competently and profitably.

Computer literacy lessons for children solve another important issue – Internet safety. A ban on the use of the Web is unlikely to help: such fruit is always sweet.

But the result will be completely different if you explain to a child how to work with information, what you can do and what is potentially dangerous.

Unfortunately, school computer lessons come too late. It is necessary to establish a healthy relationship with information technology from an early age – then gadgets will not be an obsession for a child, but a friend and helper in achieving all goals.

• Computer training at the “Power User” level
• Lesson length at your choice – 60/120 minutes

The basics of computer literacy for children are the key to harmonious development today. You surely want your child to see the computer not only as a tool for games and entertainment! It is possible. The main thing is to give him the necessary knowledge and skills in time.
