This video is very encouraging to me because young students are being introduced, and becoming proficient in the world of computers and other technologies. This new type of training is a prime example of the old proverb, "Give a man a fish, his family will be hungry the next day. Teach a man to fish and he will feed his family for the rest of his life." This new form of "digital citizenship" is here to stay, it would be in our best interest to become as well rounded, and fluent in it as possible. These teenagers are being afforded one of, if not the best opportunities to gain a foothold and solid direction on their future.
When I was in high school, what little we used the computer simply just informed everyone how to properly log off, before pushing the power button. Heck, way back in the day (2002) when I learned to type in high school, we used new age typewriters (electric). These students now can teach themselves, and each other once given a gentle push in the right direction. Is this not the ultimate goal of every educator?
