Teen Tech Week Wiki

I just checked out the Yals Wiki on teen technology week and it it very interesting. After doing presentation on wikis, I realized what an advantage they can be for spreading information.

This wiki is focused on informing people on the web of Teen Tech Week, which I didn’t even know existed. Teen Tech Week is aimed to “encourage teens to use libraries virtually or in person for their computers, DVDs, audiobooks, databases and other electronic resources” (Wiki). Teen Tech Week also aims to have teens learn to appreciate librarians and all that they contribute to the media world. Furthermore, there is a link on this wiki to the official Teen Tech Week website. This wiki also gives contest details and prizes.

This is extremely interesting, and it shows just how much technology is becoming a art in the lives of teens. There is a whole week dedicated to informing teenagers about technology. This is just showing that Friedman’s flat world is more common and important that we may think.

Here is the website for the wiki http://teentechweek.wikispaces.com/

sounds like an interesting idea. i like the fact that students learn to appreciate librarians more, or as they are called, "media specialists." I think getting kids excited about the technology is a new and interesting idea. i wonder how it will affect students and teachers, and how far it will be taken.
