The Computer Looking Glass was designed to nurture children’s curiosity and encourage a sense of wonder and joy in discovering the world of computers around them. Children are innately curious. Even in infancy they begin a process of exploration and query that allows them to make sense of the world. As children learn to observe, to discover the sequential nature of events, to understand how things work and to predict outcomes, they develop the fundamental skills of computer literacy. Each game is carefully chosen to provide educational activities that help children practice sorting, sequencing, observing, predicting and constructing. A child’s experience in each game help them practice both their creative thinking skills and their logical reasoning skills. Encouraging exploration and creativity and rewarding persistence are key components of each of our interactive computer software programs. The librarians, along with the Children’s Department staff, encourage parents to facilitate their child’s exploration into the world of computers.
