Re: Afterschool Technology Activities

Renee, the idea of incorporating the cost of the camera is brilliant! It ma=
kes the lessons learned that much more valueable.

Jim, we have offered claymation, scratch programming, and digital photograp=
hy/photoshop lessons as after school enrichment classes.

Subject: Afterschool Technology Activities

Hi,

I am looking for any information related to afterschool activities that sch=
ool have specifically for technology. Perhaps it is a programming activity=
, robotics or computer software exploration.

We run an activity in the Winter months to help provide another avenue for =
those that are not in team sports. Last year, we have used the MSDNAA prog=
ram to help groups explorer their own interest and show off different softw=
are products to each other. This worked well, but I am exploring other opt=
ions as well.

Thanks!
