Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that combining real-life experiences with computer activities can enhance learning, especially in the area of math. This approach allows children to make connections between concrete manipulatives and abstract concepts, leading to a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The other options (A, B, and D) are all incorrect as research has shown that computer storybooks can actually enhance literacy skills, children do not spend most of their time on computers for language and math skills, and the presence of video gaming consoles in young children's bedrooms is not necessarily a positive thing.
