So what I was thinking is that maybe there should be a tech-based project that requires multiple trips to the computer lab. While here students can help each other out, use internet resources, or the teacher in order to not just do the project, but also become more acquainted/skilled with tech and the internet.

No matter what a person's background is, they should always be allowed to have access to the wealth of knowledge (and the ease to access it) that the internet offers, this is especially true for students. Further, this will allow students to have a better knowing of how to use technology which is preparing them for the larger world. On a point that doesn't involve strict knowledge-gaining, there is also the community aspect the internet offers. Teens especially need to find others like them and be able to communicate with those that don't make them feel so isolated. Wed, 27 Feb 2019 11:34:05 -0500
