This document discusses programs for tweens (ages 8-12) that help them learn online skills. It describes websites kids use like YouTube and LEGO.com. It notes surprising questions kids ask, like how to make squiggly email signs or spell websites. The document emphasizes that kids aren't automatically "digital natives" and provides examples of library programs teaching online skills through activities like making book trailers and comic books.

NO-SCREEN-FIRST: AN EVOLVING APPROACH FOR AN INCLUSIVE AUDIENCENguyet Vuong
What is a “visualization” for someone who can’t see? How do you take something inherently visual—a rich, highly interactive data visualization—and make it usable for people across the spectrum of visual impairment, from color deficiency to blindness? How can we evolve our design and development approach to create solutions that work for everyone?
Senior Designer, Nguyet Vuong and Web Developer, Tommy O’Keefe from Atlantic Media Strategies team up to discuss what it means to design and develop for an inclusive audience in an agency setting and how no-screen-first is their evolving approach to integrating accessibility into their workflow. They’ll explore strategies and discuss learnings for creating accessible experiences that are inclusive and future-friendly.

The Internet and various other forms of technology are here to stay. They make our lives easier in many ways, but they can be addictive and, at times, cause more harm than good.

Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves.

Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. Things LPL kids use the
Internet for:
Watching movies on streaming sites
(youtube.com)
Role-playing games (bgames.com,
LEGO.com)
Games where you make things (Barbie.com)
Facebook Chat
4. Surprising questions from kids
8-12
How do you make the squiggly sign in emails?
This site asked me for my username and
password. What is it?
I want to go to LEGO.com but I don’t know how to
spell it.
What do you mean, “Google it?”
5. Bottom line:
We can’t assume digital natives know
everything about the Internet and technology
Conduct your own [very unscientific and
possibly creepy] experiment of your own to
see what YOUR kids would like!
12. “Why aren’t they DOING
anything?”
“As we speak, your child is:
honing problem solving skills by navigating the
games
building social skills by playing with a partner
practicing a variety of subjects in a non-
classroom scenario
fostering self-efficacy
You’re welcome.”

19. Final thought
The informal, exciting half of kids' education
occurs “after school.” This is the place where
21st century students learn about their world
and prepare themselves for their 21st century
lives.
--Marc Prensky, education and technology
innovator
We’re the “after school”! Yaaaay, us!
