Recommendation Rating: ★★☆☆☆
The best way to teach someone to learn something is by helping them experience it and solve real-world problems. However, compared to a standard curriculum, this approach requires much more skilled teachers, is harder to standardize, and therefore tends to be more expensive.
For me, the good thing is that there’s a purpose in teaching kids information technology, which helps me rethink everything I do to better support my kids in using it.
