C4K 1 & 2 Summary

My C4K student was Kenyas. I was so impressed with the assignments that this class has accomplished. The manifesto was something that I would like to implement with my future classes. I think the comments that we are giving this class are so vital to the success of the assignment. The actual writing they do is great, but I feel the more valuable lesson is that they know there are people that you don't know who can find your work and have something to say about it. That is one part of the technology era that concerns me for children that are new and inexperienced with it. What you put out there reflects you and sometimes you can't take it back! That is a lesson that kids need to learn sooner rather than later. By allowing these kids to experience this interaction with unknown people and receiving peer reviews, they can begin to understand the importance of using technology responsibly.
