Education Suggestion “The Computer Edge”
When you look at a college classroom, every student has a laptop computer with him or her. By the time a student gets to college, they have become computer literate.
How about in high school? Not every family has a home computer. Just look at the number of public computers at libraries or chat rooms. Most high schools have some computer classes and some computers for students to use.
In most grade schools, computer use depends upon a family’s ability to supply one at home. Watching children use a computer as though it is no big deal is amazing to generations that are still having computer issues.
A head start education program needs to include computer education. The world today lives on the Internet. The edge a computer gives a child is hard to measure. The gap between the haves using a computer and the have nots no computer use can only grow.
The education suggestion is to give the computer edge to the children in a head start program. This would not be difficult by using one of the most generous men in our history. Bill Gates and his wife have a foundation with money to spend. Also, Eli Broad and his wife have a foundation for education. Other foundations could also be solicited.
Bill Gates could design the computer. Several things need to be included to make this work.
1. Make the laptop steal proof
2.Use a fingerprint or such the only way to open the computer
3.Make the laptop color distinctive-red, white and blue
4.Mark the laptop-Do not steal no resale value
5. Have a special Internet access with only one channel-i.e. .cft computers for tots,
We have toys for tots and coats for tots, now we can have computers for tots.
6. All of the programs will be educational and games that encourage learning
7. To get a .cft a website address will have to pass a screening test
8. Have screens on all .cft sites for known bad words etc.
9. Put a GPS in the computer as it is made
10.Make the system easy to use
This is idea is out side of the box that everyone talks about but cannot seem to propose.
Computers for Tots it will work.
Computers for Tots will level the playing field.
