As teenagers’scores on reading tests have declined.some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet are the enemy of reading-destroying a precious common culture that exists only through the reading of books.Critics have warned that electronic media would destroy reading. Others say the Internet has created a new kind of reading.The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia.who might otherwise spend most of her leisure time watching television.to read and write.What is different now.some literacy experts say, is that spending time on the Web engages viewers with text. Web supporters believe that strong readers on the Web may eventually surpass those who rely on books.Reading five Web sites.experts say.can be more enriching than reading one book.“It takes a long time to read a 400-pace book. said Spiro.“In a tenth of the time. he said.“the Internet allows a reader to cover a lot more of the topic from different points of view. Some literacy experts say that reading itself should be redefined.Interpreting videos or pictures.they say.may be as important a skill as analyzing a novel or a poem.“Kids are using sound and images so they have a world of ideas to put together. said Donna Alvermann.a professor of literacy education at the University of Georgia.“Books aren’t out of the picture.but they’re only one way of experiencing information in the world today. Next year.the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.which gives reading.math and science tests to 15-year-old students in more than 50 countries.will add an electronic reading component.The United States says it will not participate because an additional test would overburden schools.
Tech-Camp is a day camp with a focus on computers and electronics technology.We offer 2week summer programmes for students of 12 to 17 years of age.We have a computer lab with the latest and fastest equipment, an electronics lab, and a video production studio.Our staff is special, too.Our programme leaders are experts in computers and electronics, of course, but they are also people who care about children and enjoy working with them.
The benefits of Tech-Camp
In all of our programmes, we show students how to work in teams and how to solve problems by themselves.We encourage them to think creatively.
What students will do at Tech-Camp
Each day at Tech-Camp is filled with useful, interesting and challenging activities.For example, in the Computer Programme, students learn basic computer programming, and how to use the Internet.In the High-tech Programme, they make radio-controlled model cars and produce their own short videos.
