Asked to engage ...I think about this so much, too. Asked to engage in two district surveys for CC, I voiced my concerns about the lack of computer education within CC, too. Tim had almost no training or opportunity to learn how to be grow his technology literacy. I think so many school districts think that kids have access to computers at home and/or get all their computer education at home and, thus, consistently cut funding and/or withdraw opportunities for children to learn more about and use computers. I think every child should have the opportunity to use computers to write...I know what an immense blessing my laptops have been and continue to be in my life, especially my journey as a writer. Just as children take piano lessons at a pretty early age, I think developmentally from fine motor to confidence to voice, computers are essential tools which writers should have the CHOICE to utilize. Go, Carol, go!<br />Love to you all...Laura Lynn Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105412258346062373noreply@blogger.com
