Want my kids to be literate in IT basics, like connecting to WiFi, Googleing error messages or if things don't work etc

Not looking for those "coding" / typing classes which IMHO kids will only pick up if the teacher can show them how to make a "useful to them" app or program.

Just wondering if parents here can share their opinion on what devices you started your kids on ?

My kid just started primary school so I'm thinking of an iPad. Currently they have a basic Samsung (Android) Tablet that we've ONLY been bringing on trips for videos/toddler games so getting both Apple and Android ecosystem to "explore" at an early age. This iPad might be a once a week thing.

PC might be a year or two later ? Would prefer if they can build it including going to the store to "shop" for parts so they get an idea of how these gadgets work.

Anyone care to share their experience ?

Send to a good computer class from young, like primary school age.


My parents did that, it got me hooked and interested in computers etc. And now I working as a IT professional.😁
