Reflection:
GenYes, which stands for Generation of Youth and Educators Succeeding, is a program in which students educate adult teachers about technology and how it can be used. I think that this program is extremely interesting. You don't find many workshops with young adults turning the tables and instructing teachers! I think that it is great though, kids now-a-days are great with computers, software, and many other different types of technology because they were exposed to it at a young age. This sort of workshop could be extremely beneficial to educators, especially older educators who have not been exposed to many of the technological advances or have not been instructed how to use them. I think that students would really get a kick out of teaching the adults, and it would be beneficial for the adults in many ways as well.
