you are correct, trying to teach them is no different, but chances are those in the inner city do not have a PC sitting in their home, whereas those in suburbia have a better chance to own one...
coding? im perty sure they are just trying to get the kids comfotable around computers, and to let them figure out routine tasks... I would be very suprised if anything other than basic operation is taught... especially in the timeframe listed
no, it really is a good idea, were talking about elementary school kids here, those that have probably never played on a computer.
Teach them that they are all work and you will lose 95% of them. teach them that they can do many fun things and you will hook 95% of them...
one suggestion is you may want to buy an old 386 and tear it apart for them so they can see what is under the hood so to speak... kids love to tear things apart:)
I agree for the most part, especially when it comes to the various genres of Blues. I have over 200 mp3s from various INDY blues artist which are every bit as good, if not better than the national acts...
to top it off I have purchased some of their albums....
one way to hurt the RIAA though is to purchase your music used, either from a used CD dealer or from pawnshops...
