Re: [videoblogging] Teaching Video Blogging to A Second Grader ..

what amazes me is that compared to trying to teach an adult, my son just
gets it - and demands to know more detailed how-to.   And, shows me keyboard
short-cuts I never even thought use.   I walked away from the editing for a
minute and I came back and he had figure out how to change the title
animations without me showing him.   He's just a natural and no fear.

   very cool!

 my 3 1/2 year old daughter, sophie, is now into taking pictures and video
 with a handmedown casio camera.
 she knows how to use it as if it were a kids toy.
 she basically knows how to plug it into the puter, and opens pics/vids by
 herself as well.
 we'll leave things at that for now (except for her performance art that
 she
 asks me to record ;).

 i think because sophie doesnt watch TV (only occasional approved videos),
 she gets her 'video' satisfaction from watching and now making home videos
 more than other kids we know. or not. either way its interesting to see.

I see us as the bridge generation.
We're pioneering and learning all these tools, creating the networks,
and lost of experimenting.
man, our kids are just going to live and breathe this stuff.
They wont have to do any UNLEARNING.
