Well, I’ve lined up my service-learning project. I’ll be working with Sharon Smith, the Frick School International Baccalaureate advisor who visited our class several weeks ago. This will be a challenge for me for several reasons. For one thing, my previous notions of the digital divide were between those in society who were poorer and less educated than the “haves.” However, there is also a need for training among those who are intelligent and relatively better off, and this requires a different mode of teaching and a different approach, one I’ll have to learn. For another, I think Sharon has some very focused projects in mind, which I wasn’t necessarily expecting. In the long run, it’ll be good to have a more in-depth teaching experience, but it’ll be tough at the beginning.
