Learning is Everywhere
We often think of learning as being in a formal educational setting. Those are the most obvious learning experiences and I am having a lot of those kinds of experiences these days, but learning happens all around us. As I watch my children grow and progress I learn through their eyes. It amazes me to know how much more quickly my children learn things than I did at their age. The technology they have to help them seems to speed up their learning processes. They love it when they teach their mom something and have really enjoyed teaching me how to use these new means of communication. Learning together has been a wornderful experience. It has given us a chance to spend more time together and I am learning more about them and the wonderful people they are becoming. Please don't misunderstand, we spent time together before but this is time on a different level and it has been wonderful.

Sounds like a great environment for you and your family. Things do seem faster in all areas this day and age. I can't tell if it is the fact that i am aging, or if it really is moving faster. Nice blog.
That certainly was a nice blog (heartwarming). My son just turned five, and I can relate. Even at his age, I am amazed at how fast he catches on to technology. I can't imagine what it will be like in ten years!
Your thoughts concerning your children remind me of me!
Cool! It is always neat when you can find ways to share the time and the task. I miss my kids - they are all grown up now and off doing their own thing. Enjoy the time now while you have it!
My kids have also helped me with facebook. It is funny to see the "teacher" come out in them as they help me just as it does in me as I help them. By the way, 2 of the 3 are going to be teachers.
Kids are not afraid of technology. I don't feel old but when I was in college the first time, I did not use a computer. The most technology was a calculator when my instructors would let me use one. Most of the time we had to figure in our heads. Now kids are lost without their technology.
: ) You are right!
