I have been reading a lot of other blogs ans=d even tweets about kids and technology and parents and even teachers. There are a lot of people who believe that our children should grow up knowing about technology. that they should be able to build their own computer and basically know more than the older generations knew growing up. there is also controversy about how kids should not be knowing about technology, that it takes away from learning and that kids are just not ready for all of that. But I say if you are not a teacher or a parent, you really do not know much about what would benefit children.

Technology is great in schools. And I also know that there are plenty of programs around the world that focus on technology. Take Memphis for example, my city. We have a tutoring program by the name of Kids N Technology who focuses on kids in elementary school and helps them in the major subjects such as math and reading. They also have several programs for the children of different age groups all the way to eighteen. And before the young ones are done with the program they will have successfully built their own computer.

Check it out sometimes. you can look at their website @ KidsandTechnology.net
