I decided to interview Mr. Tim about his use of a program called Time4Learning, to find out what makes it so special. Tim is a kindergartner in CA, but he uses this program to help him with 1st grade language arts and math, and 2nd grade social studies and science. His little brother uses it, too, but was unavailable for comment. Here’s the interview we conducted on April 15, 2008. Read for yourself, and decide if this program is all it’s cracked up to be!
AL- Mr. Lindsay, what would you say is your favorite thing about this Time4Learning?
MT- I like the funny people and animals on there.
AL- Is there anything that you don’t like about, anything that bothers you?
MT- I don’t like waiting for them to shut up when they tell me how to do something and I already know how to do it. They don’t let me go forward and do it, they just keep talking and talking.
AL- Do you have a favorite funny person or animal on there?
MT- I like that ruler guy, the one on the math.
AL- What is your favorite thing to learn about on T4L?
MT- I like science best, it’s fun!
That concludes this portion of our interview, Mr. Tim had a favorite program to watch and he wasn’t happy about the interruption.

i have to say, that was very funny. And i too get frustrated with it. I hope someday the designers figure out a way to bypass if it you wanted to.

Thanks! He had me laughing, too! He cannot stand repetition (I can’t either!), and he just doesn’t have the patience to wait for them to say what he needs to do. My youngest gets REALLY irritated by that, he cracks me up!

Angie,
Great interview! LOL I found myself laughing at Tim’s least favorite answer. Cade doesn’t like that and sometimes I don’t either!
He always says, “Come on already!!!”
