Nov. 2, 2009 - Homeschooling at its Best
We have had an old computer lying around for years, too old to be worth using - probably from about 1996 or 1997. So, we let the kids take it apart. They had SO much fun! It was like a week-long project for them. I eventually had to make them take it to the garage to prevent them from scattering small and potentially dangerous parts around the baby, but I think there is just no better education than this! It is one thing to read about the way a computer is made, or look at diagrams or photographs, but it is just immensely better to see it in person, feel it, discover and explore. Hands ON! Actually, it was fascinating for me too!
