Computers were new and exiting stuff in the 1980s when schools first started getting them and adding them to the instructional program. Students and many teachers in the 1990s have a hard time understanding how schools ever functioned without them. They are a greatvassett as the younger children look on them as toys and clever programers can build programs that educate while entertaining. Older students take a more sphphisticated approch with substantial differences between boys and girls. Games are still a big draw for teenagers, especially the boys. Of course it is always difficult to generalize, but some general trends do emerge. Many boys are often intreagued by the technology. They are interested in how the computers work and the mechanics of prgramming. Girls are often less interested in the technology, but are interested in using the computer to build content or to assist with actual assignments.
On Tuesday Gregg Sheehan and his daughter Kim came to show us how to work internet. We looked up Kim's homepage and found she was winking and told us about her dog Whova Brown (Whova for short). We made a Broadlands school homepage. We looked up guide dogs and racing cars.
