Recently in class we have been working on creating booklets. These booklets cover various
topics about computer programming in Scratch that will be used by the teachers in Barbados to be able to continue teaching after the week we spend there. We have finished up the first four booklet topics and will continue working on them this week. This class has made me realize truly how fortunate we are to grow up in a place where education is so heavily valued and we are provided with some of the best resources and opportunities the world has. While we are so fortunate, there are plenty of others who just do not have great opportunities. That is why our One Laptop per Child program is so important. The children we will help were not born in a wealthy country with great opportunities. For them, an introduction to computer programming could change the course of their lives and could be the difference between being able to get a good education and good job for themselves or remaining in the same situation they are in now. This image suggests that learning computer programming can provide an opportunity to create wealth and leave poverty behind.
