I think I agree that computers should be used only once a child is literate. Otherwise, it seems good to me that a kid be able to use them as soon as they are able. Whether educators like them or not, they are one of the most essential tools needed for students, and for the working world. I do not think they should take the place of typical classwork early on, but should instead supplement it. Obviously, as you get older, it becomes a subject in itself entirely.
I am a little ignorant to some of these things. Many of you have experience in the classroom that I have very little knowledge about. I hope that I can contribute and learn from you all as well.
A little embarrassed at my lack of understanding
