Meet Computer Kid

Computer kid loves school!

A proud, self professed, computer geek, Computer Kid enjoys his academic life but always needs to feel that he is directing his own learning to keep him focused and engaged. He loves creating anything using technology and also loves learning Latin. Computer kid loves to learn and he particularly enjoys his learning experience if it is conceptualised in the real world. Real world examples are where it is at for Computer Kid.

If he can see the application of what he is learning in his own life, you've got him hooked and he will put in 110% to work towards learning new content and concepts.
He has an eye for detail, and any detail that he feels is incorrect will stall his learning. He can often get caught up in the detail and loose focus on the bigger picture and needs to be guided to move past the detail to learn broader concepts.

Assignments and homework help Computer Kid to thrive if he can use his own imagination and the content is broad enough for him to choose where he can focus his learning.

Computer kid loves to play Minecraft, is obsessed with Star Warts, first person adventure games and also loves coding. He plays soccer in winter and isn't particularly fussed whether he wins or losses, he is more interested in the team and social aspects of the game.

Computer Kid has agreed to blog for Extra Credit to give insight into the his learning experiences and discuss which experiences he enjoys and why. He is particularly keen to express his views on what are ineffective teaching methods from his perspective and is very adept at expressing his own opinions.

Thanks for getting involved Computer Kid, we look forward to hearing about your 2018 school year!
