Technology education in public schools is very important to me, and I'm grateful that my son (who's in 1st grade) goes to an elementary school with a solid tech program.
I remember when I toured his school, I was drooling over the computers they get to use because they were machines I could only dream of owning.
At home I plan to start taking the technology education he receives at school and teaching him about responsible web usage and all that stuff, which I view as my responsibility, not his school's.
I also like to teach him about the joy of technology. One of the things I've done in the past that I really enjoyed was coding a CLI that would respond when he typed his name and would tell him funny jokes.
He wants his own computer, so I promised him that if he learned to read by the time he got to first grade, we'd build a computer together and I'd start teaching him to code. He crushed that goal, so I'm looking forward to doing that with him over the summer.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
