So today I volunteered to teach a class introducing technology club grade school students to programming. Showed them some basic examples in python, then did some exercises on scratch and let them play around on scratch for a while. First time I've taught anything officially.
One observation. My laptop I used for the demo runs Debian #Linux. The kids all used school provided Chrome Books. The teacher said her personal machines at home are all Macs. #Microsoft has lost the next generation.
