→Introducing Your Child to the TI Home Computer
Your Home Computer provides a variety of learning experiences for children. Young children may need assistance in learning how to use the computer or the software. Supervise your child until you feel confident in his or her ability to operate the computer and use the software independently. First, acquaint yourself with the manual. Read "Using the Solid State Cartridge" to show your child how to turn on the computer and insert the cartridge.
Then, introduce your child to the keyboard and the program activities.
-----
'''Using the Keyboard'''
If your child is unfamiliar with a typewriter, he or she may need help using the computer keyboard.
: 1. Show your child how to press the keys correctly.
:* Place a fingertip directly on a key and press.
:* Use medium pressure.
:* Press two keys at the same time when using a function or shift key.
: 2. Practice locating and pressing each key shown in the Quick Reference Guide.
