Kids
Keeping Up in the Digital World
So
how can this information be translated into action in
our schools so that our children are able to use the computer
more effectively? These are questions our community needs
to raise with teachers and appropriate officials as we
move into the new school year. It will certainly require
new ways of thinking, but new ways of thinking are what
we need as enter the Digital Age. The more our children
understand how these games work, the more capable they
will be to take advantage of the new job opportunities
this industry will create.
And,
in that regard, here's some information that might be
useful to you as you try to keep up with what's going
on and get resources for your community.
