Since we all had Friday off, we decided to leave beautiful tornado torn Poway and have fun at Disneyland. I thought we would be so busy having rides and standing in line that education and technology would be left behind. Of course, I was wrong. Walt Disney had a great passion for education and led technology innovations in the entertainment industry. I had planned my blog before coming home, but an interesting twist opened with the Powerpoint Munchkin discussion.

When my 8 year old was born, we already had a computer. He crashed the system when he was two. He has had his own website for over a year now, and like many ed tech students has not kept it up to date http://www.angelfire.com/games2/ddoerner/ Although he has not made powerpoint presentations, he has turned in several websites for homework. Here in Poway, he is the only kid we know with a website, but many of his friends have email addresses. His teachers use the Internet often and encourage the kids.
