The entire family can work together to create a family tree and chart their extended family history.
Genealogy is the study of family history. It includes details about how people are descended from an ancestor, how people are related to each other, where families are from, how they may have traveled from country to country, where they lived, what kind of work they did, and what sorts of lives they led. A family tree is a visual representation of a family's lines of descent. Some family trees include photos and other vital information. Researching a family's genealogy and making a family tree is a great way for kids and adults to learn more about who they are. It also brings history to life in a new way, making it possible to see how historical events impacted one family: the researcher's own. Genealogy is also a great way to sharpen research skills.

Want to sharpen your keyboarding skills?!
Introduction to Keyboarding
When you first start keyboarding, you might think there's not much more to it than memorizing where the letters are on the keyboard and being able to hit them quickly. The truth is that there's much more to it than that. Before you even begin your keyboarding education, it's a good idea to make sure your desk, chair, and computer are set up properly to help you type comfortably and avoid injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome, that can occur if you type for prolonged periods of time. Setting up a workstation properly is sometimes called "ergonomics." Once you've set up your desk and computer properly, it's time to start with some beginner lessons. Remember that it takes time and patience to master any new skill. Just keep practicing.
Highlights of some GREAT Apps! And some great sites too!
