This was one of the topics we discussed today in class about how to conquer the digital divide. I thought it was great of the grade school students to volunteer to help older students who live in a nursing home how to use the computer. They younger students were polite and tried to get to know the person they were working with. The different topics the seniors wanted to search was very interesting. I don't think one of my top items would be how to purchase movie tickets!

Yes, it is good to know that these resources are out there. It is also neat to see what innovative and creative ways some communities are helping to promote computer literacy. I fear though, that this is becoming less of a priority. Hopefully we can be the champions of change and computer literacy in our own schools and communities. As more importantly get other teachers to buy in.
I also agree that these resources are out there. Computer literacy is definitely less of a priority is some communities. Teacher buy in and superintendent buy in is more important than ever. We as teachers need to be better activists for computer literacy or are children and students will be the ones that suffer.
