While surfing the Internet, this blogger discovered that there is a Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society that has been in existence since 1997. It was particularly informative to learn that the Society has prepared a 5 pp document entitled Laptops in Schools Programme in which the Society responds to the laptops-for-children programme of the Government of Trinidad & Tobago. Of particular interest is the section that covers suggested uses of the laptop for learning activities. Currently, the Society awaits the Government's response to its document.
On the website, the Society provides a SMS Dictionary and Emoticons. Could these be other examples of the higher order thinking skills in which our students are already immersed because of the motivation present?
The Society's official website is at http://www.ttcsweb.org/
This is a taste of the volumne of information waiting to be explored. Now that we have the tools to surf, let us uncover the world of information that is lust a click away.
