Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

Vicki Davis has taken a tool that the average student uses on a daily basis and turned it into a great educational media outlet. Most kids spend up to 3 hours on a computer after school, so why not equip them with the knowledge on how to use and creative their own programs. With the digital age changing at rapid speeds it gives them quite an advantage over others are aren't being taught how to use what's available to them.
She has taken things like avatars and virtual gaming to a whole new level for kids that would otherwise never take the time to learn this on their own. I would like to see others get on board and take her approach to teaching things other than basic keyboarding and computer skills.
