A
meeting between cultures: An Intergeneration Program-Preserving
Culture in a Technological Environment
by Edna Aphek
In this paper Edna Aphek describes
her experiences with the program 'The Intergeneration
Program and the New Technologies', in which young students,
grades 5-9, tutor seniors at computer and internet skills
and learn from their older students, a chapter in the
latter's personal history. Together they write a digital
version of the story; together they scan pictures, albums,
documents; search for information on the net as well as
in other sources and soon will upload these stories to
a designated site, on the internet. The paper describes
the meeting between the two generations, the model and
its implementation. |

Children
of the Information Age
By Edna Aphek
This paper attempts at understanding
the unique characteristics of the children of the Information
Age. The paper maintains that the new means of information
and communications have caused a radical shift in the
role and status of children and that a "New Child"
is emerging. The paper maintains that the computer and
the Internet have revolutionized the balance between the
power of the adults and the status of children. The loss
of authority on the part of the adults on the one hand
and the new power held by the Computer Children on the
other, is ever changing the adult- children relationship
in schools and at homes. |

Learning
and Growing by Giving: Children as Agents of the ICT
By Edna Aphek
The digital divide has been looked
upon in many countries and rightly so as a major problem.
We, in Israel, try to look upon it as a "probotunity".
I learnt of this term from the Brainstorming site http://www.brainstorming.co.uk.
This term probotunity means looking at a problem as an
opportunity. The opportunity is there, in combining the
deep thorough knowledge of computer and internet skills,
at the hand of our youth with the giving of this vast
knowledge to others. The following is a number of on-
going projects in Israel .
