alice-teacher Suggestion For Video About Learning Technology Center

[Matjaz Marussig]

Hi Bill,

it looks like we have a very similar idea. I started by gathering students
remotely during the pandemic here in the EU. Now I have some Ukrainian kids
online. Everyone is very enthusiastic, but they are technologically
undernourished. They would like to do a lot with technology, but they don't
get teachers who would teach with passion and understanding of
children. Today we can unite ALL students around the world.

However, video alone is not enough. We have to invest a lot of effort in
persuading and advertising the idea. There are no problems with children,
but with adults. It is very difficult to get sponsors, donors, and
teachers. Today, technology is an extremely broad science, which is why
most children approach technology spontaneously. But... it's only a matter
of time before AI takes over everything.
