Tech skills I’m glad I learned: Reflections of a high school graduate

Homeschooling with Technology

190: Tech skills I’m glad I learned: Reflections of a high school graduate – Interview with Natalie Vaughn

Guest Natalie Vaughn has just graduated from high school and she shares the tech skills she is glad she learned and how they helped her.

Be sure to listen to my interview with Natalie last week when she shared her favorite high school apps and the interview I did with her last summer as part of the Techie Teen series where she talked about her job as a virtual assistant.

Natalie helped me write a 10-part blog series on preparing your homeschooled teen for college

Here are the 7 tech skills Natalie is glad she learned.

1. Operating Google Drive – she used this Google Drive unit study from FundaFunda Academy
2. Digital organization and schedule-making (Trello – listen to this previous episode on Trello)
3. Computer safety (recognizing scams, avoiding viruses, social media safety, and more)
4. How to research topics digitally
5. Typing (previous episode on Typing Games)
6. Writing an email
7. Basic graphic design skills (Canva – previous episode on Canva)

Teens learn many of these skills in FundaFunda’s Computer Applications class
