Danilo You would think that it is true that kids have more experience with wikis and other computer type technologies but here in Minnesota and especially rural Minnesota it is not true. Most rural kids and many urban kids do not have access to those types of technologies except at school. Schools here are trying to address that issue. There are economic and culture issues here that deny kids the type of access that you are thinking about. Of course their brains are more plastic than adults so that is an advantage they have. I have found with both adults and kids that if the tool is a got fit with something that is relevant and important to them it is easy to integrate the tool no matter what the age Pat
