Paige, Madison, and their teachers in Carlisle get an A+! So often, I hear adults say things like "these kids today" -my response back is: THESE KIDS TODAY-WOW! Look what they can do! Your daughter is living proof that our future is bright if we have adults, like you, who get it! Oh...I stalk you, too! Andrew-

Yeah... the whole kids thing does change your perspective a bit. But as you said, keeping education "top of mind" is imperative - kids or not. Think of it this way - with the advancements taking place today, your kids will be doing video and online presentations in pre-school!!! Yikes. Thanks for stopping by the kitchen! Keep Cooking!

With the rapid changes taking place it's obviously hard for schools to keep up, and most are falling behind. The driving forces outside of schools have to be let in. Glad to see an example of some steps in that direction. Great stuff! I don’t have kids yet but education is something that I think about a lot.

Then she shows me THIS... WOW... I was blown away... I helped her edit a bit of it, but she, Paige and Maggie scripted, shot and produced the entire piece... and they understood the medium, the reach and the power... 8th GRADE!... I'm impressed. The future is bright. And the light isn't even at full tilt, yet. In one day, we've heard from her teachers and have been asked to have reproductions of the DVD made for the Carlisle board as well as other schools as an example of how "new technology" can be used as an educational tool...BR/BR/The flame gets turned up a notch...
