Training ideas

[Cindy Shames]

Jodi -

There are a variety of educational software and games that can be used to
teach and inform youth.  At present I am researching a variety of software
packages for our program.

The Clubs are also going to provide training on Microsoft Office and other
business software.  In addition, there is a local organization that has a
program where teen youth can build there own computer from donated
computers.  At the end of the program, the participants have a fully
functional computer to take home with them.

<p>Hello

My name is Jodi Ost and I am the Site Coordinator for an After School
Program at Whittier Middle School, Sioux Falls, SD.  I subscribed to
YOUTHLEARN to talk with other people creating programs for youth.
Currently, many of my after school kids spend hours just surfing the
internet or playing games on the internet.  I am hoping to develop
technology and computer activities that would be not only entertaining, but
educational.  I am looking for ways to encourage the students to develop
their technology skills during the after school program.
