Putting my son in public school has been quite an eye opening experience for me in many regards. For one thing, I am amazed at how the school system is completely unprepared for the arrival of digital natives. I’m going to be talking a lot more about digital natives on this blog. Why? Because my son is a digital native in a school system that seems to be stuck somewhere in the 50’s.
Our kids are smarter, faster, and more aware than we ever were. Is the world ready to for digital natives? Well, get ready because theses kids and techno parents like us will be the driving force for change in the school system.
How fast can you type? I just took this free typing test and found out I can type 66 words a minute with 78% accuracy. Not bad. This young lady can type 119 words per minute. She looks like she is about 12.
I love how she says it makes her feel powerful. Rock on little geek girl!
