Response to Noelle: Powerpoint Munchkin

That is very cool.

I see two interesting (to me) subjects here.

1. Digital Divide: your story hilites the inequity in computer access between technology haves and have-nots

2.Digital Generation: this story is going to become more and more common.

Speaking of the the Digital Divide. There is a book called Growing Up Digital. The website also has some discussion of the idea that children born in the mid 90's and on. Don't think of technology as technology any more than a toaster is technology. to make a long story short, schools will have to shift their strategies and methodologies in order to meet the needs of the N-generation.
