[rtpnet-tact] RTPnet May 30 conference

[Edward A. Shanken]

Judy - in fourth line, please reverse "is to" so that it reads "it is." 
  "Reproducibility" should be spelled this way.
Doug - please confirm that the program does, in fact, involved computer 
programming.  I'm not familiar with that aspect of the curriculum.

Thanks, ES

11:00-12:00: Developing Basic Computer Skills and Making It Fun!
   CLICK (Creating Literacy in Computer Knowledge) is an after-school 
computer-skills program for middle school students that can be also be 
used for basic adult training. CLICK students learn word processing, 
databases, spreadsheets, multimedia presentations, web design and 
computer programming. Because CLICK takes place in an afterschool 
setting, is it important that lesson plans be not only educational but 
also fun. Panelists will describe objectives, the collaboration that 
developed CLICK, lessons learned recruiting and training Duke students, 
lessons learned from the middle-school students, pros and cons of 
working in a school, the computer "Loaner-to-Owner" program, and plans 
for future development, sustainability, and reproducability in other 
schools and CTCs. Curriculum and other resources available online will 
be demonstrated.
