would their parents using a taser on them be considered technology?

nope- but I'm sure some would want to!!!

blogging?

specifically what are you trying to get the middle schoolers to do?

Showing parents how technology can be used over summer break

right. but i've been of the belief that technology should be a means not an end. so do you want the kids to use tech to share about their

lives like blogging? use tech to find new ways of learning and improving themselves? or use tech for some other reason?

ideas like blogging or creating a video of their summer

blog?
