Writing a Cover Letter by C. M. Clifton

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

  

As a novice writer, I had no idea that cover letters existed until I attempted to submit my first short story manuscript to a publication whose submission guidelines required that a cover letter accompany every manuscript. Once aware of cover letters, however, I found myself confused. So I conducted a bit of research. If you are just embarking on the writer’s journey (more…)

Writing My Stories, Buy My Stories!

Whenever I begin a short story, I remind myself of two things: to try to get in touch with readers’ senses as much as possible by writing something to see, hear, touch, smell, taste, and feel (emotionally), and to try to keep nine points, specifically, in mind when writing my story in hopes of composing a tightly-written story that sticks in readers’ minds.

Computer Literacy For Children

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Computer Literacy For Children

The computer can be a great tool for anyone, especially children. It can be a medium to access countless pages of information, a place to create reports and other written projects, plus a myriad of other applications and possibilities. Computer literacy for children is an important beginning, giving kids the best tools for their lives and their future careers.

Some Positive Things Kids Can Do With Computers Today

Kids have come to use the computer as a research tool. They are able to access information about any subject they can think of and a few things they probably didn’t. One of the more positive things to research are the free writing contests for kids. These writing contests will get your child fired up about writing and usually have different prizes to reward them for their efforts. Some of these prizes even include a publishing contract with upfront royalties paid to your child. If they do a search for writing contests, be sure it is geared towards kids and there is not an entrance fee. Some of the contests may require sponsorship, and in that case you can encourage your child to talk to their teachers about entering one of these as a school wide effort. Free writing contests for kids will recognize the talents of these young writers.

If a child is going to be using a computer or has been using a computer, then it is best if they learn the proper way to type. Many people, both kids and adults, have developed their own version of typing, but there is a proper way to do so. Kids typing help programs can get the ball rolling. There are software programs and sites online that are geared towards kids. Typing help is only a click away. Before you know it, your student will be learning the keyboard and increasing their typing speeds.

Learning the keyboard is one of the first steps in computer literacy for children. It is important that they learn all the parts of the computer, so they can start learning computer literacy. For children, it has been proven that they learn best by any hands on experiences they can get; this is true when it comes to computers. There are many opinions regarding computer literacy and children. Your young student may seem like they know more about the computer than you do, but does this make them computer literate? Probably not; just like when a young child claims to know how to read b1000ecause they memorized that book that you read to them a million times–computer literacy is the ability to not only operate a computer but to understand how to also apply its technology to solve a problem.

Teaching computer literacy for kids has become a priority for even the very young. It is thought it best to teach children at a young age, so they grow into their computer with the right understanding of how it works. There are companies out there that have been teaching computer literacy for kids for over 20 years. They have their own learning centers and make school visits to teach all that there is to know about computer literacy, but at an age appropriate level.

Enhancing writing skills for teens can be done using computers. There are websites that are geared to teen writers where they can safely and positively express their inner thoughts and feelings using the power of the word. Writing development does not end because you are in the higher grades at school, as a matter of fact you can see it as a beginning. You have learned the basics when you were young and now you can apply that knowledge and create some wonderful stories. Keeping a journal (online or on paper) is a great way for enhancing writing skills for teens.

Computers are great tools for students, but these students should be taught the proper way to use them so they can get the most benefit out of their computer.
