  • Ill steal some suggestions I liked from other commenters and add my own.

    • Draw a picture
    • Write a letter to someone
    • Find home on the map and calculate distances to school, grandparents, friends, etc
    • Make a simple song
    • Design something simple using CAD software (you’d need to find something really simple to learn/use. Someone suggested a program that I assume allows you to design minecraft buildings external to minecraft)

    And most importantly for me:

    • Research one or several topics. Youd need to do the research yourself beforehand, as well as pick topics you know align roughly with your child’s areas of interest, but if they gain the skill of looking up information for themselves and finding the answer, pretty much anything is within their grasp IMO. Maybe set this as the first one so they can apply it for whatever further challenges you set them (extreme example but e.g. “How to create dog in blender” if you set them the task of using blender to design something). On that note, maybe set 2 distinct types of research topics - such as technical tasks and information tasks. What I mean is: “how do i install x, y, z program and use it” would be a technical task in my opinion, whereas something like “why are farmers legally forbidden from replanting seeds from their crops” would be an information task.

    Best of luck!








  • That does make sense, but Im more referring to the people in the company. For example when I was working as IT, there were people who were still using Office 2016 at a time when Office 365 was already out for a while (dont… just dont… I agree with whatever you are thinking of commenting about this - it was insane). When we finally upgraded them all to 365 we as IT had to show them how to do their basic workflow stuff again because the interface was so different. Even microsoft, which is a software vendor (arguably one of the biggest one if not THE biggest) wouldn’t deal with training your employees for something like that. In that regard, I guess its the same situation as an OSS developer who just puts their product out, provides the most basic support maybe in terms of github issues, and calls it a day.

    My comment was more on the internal relationship between the IT guys who will create the training resources and then for a period of time guide the regular employee through using the software, and the regular employee just using the software, rather than the organisation and the person/group/company providing the software
