Notes from Millie D

Alan November decided that he wanted to have an influencial girl he met at NECC present instead. She is an elevn year old from Hong Kong, to protect her I will not provide her name.

She is definitely a 21st Century kid. She has a homepage that engaging. She is an informaiton prosumer. She collects podcasts, writes blog entires, creates slideshows, interacts with people from around the world.

She is motivated to write outside of her schoolwork. She feels that she is not outside of the norm compared to classmates, which got a chuckle form the crowd. The crowd was asked to answer a questions that goes something like…if she were to enroll in our school next year would you be able to engage her to the extent that she is use to. Answer went from we can catch her up to not a chance. The response the from crowd was slightly less or no way. Which is scary to think that she would have to repreat a year to make up for the time in the US.

She can control the level of viewership of her page. She has facebook and connects through facebook and CLC (her school toolset).
