Lussier Center:
We've all developed a new appreciation for our technology. If you read about the Nine Themes of Citizenship from my last post, one of the themes was digital access. This is an important aspect of our technology because everything is changing -- from how we communicate to how we gather informtion.
So it was a good experience to work with the children at the Lussier Center because the integration of technology in our education needs to be taught effectively. We were able to work with 1 child per college student and we taught them how to create safe passwords, how to type in url addresses, and how to make avatars. They really enjoyed making the avatars and having them speak! This was a fun assignment because the children were so excited! there is so much to learn that we weren't able to cover too much in the 1.5 hour we were there, but it was nice being able to help them play and find things on the Internet.
