There are thousands of applications that abstract normal people from the "HTTP". Knowing stuff is a great thing, but forcing people to learn stuff is something totally different.
Show kids how to build a webpage with HTTP and CSS and they will run for their lives. Maybe you can teach them how to configure any content manager making an effort in explain them how having a webpage can affect their lives and how can they prevent them (security, privacy...).
It is school guys, teach kids useful tools for their lives, don't bore them with hypes (I am purposely obviating the "brain" development thing).
- arethuza 13y agoTeaching kids the specifics of some content management system seems as daft to me as focusing on MS Office.
- professorTuring 13y agoSo right, but you have to use "something" as example, I don't mind which one you prefer as long as it comes with a "how this affect my life" explanation.
