Edit: Oops sorry Haemonculus But I am teaching youngsters in my school system BW. It's more readily available, and runs on the old macs we have. They think it's really cute, esp. the commentators of Gom.tv(in Korean). | ||

(Maybe it'll foster an appreciation of graphics in them by watching how gaming has evolved.) (I also want my kids to see the great movies I saw growing up...is it weird to want your kids to experience things I found meaningful?) | ||

I think it's cool to teach kids about games, we need to pass on the torch!! SC2 is fun. Sure, it's not BW, but it's it's own thing and I like it. Maybe I'm just a newb :[ | ||

So in principle your idea is something I take issue with, but in practise its ok  .The kids I work with have a limited vocabulary and limited attention span (1-5 minute activities). They are only just turning two so they can't express themselves in many ways yet. I use this cheer because they can imitate it well and practice letter sounds. We also cheer "touchdown," "yea," practice each letter sound repeatedly, we clap, and more. I believe in introducing things to kids to broaden their horizon. If my kids didn't like it they wouldn't do it. In addition, we have 9 hours a day to fill with just the teachers talking and singing. Hearing only "yea" as a cheer every 1-5 minutes gets a little boring and limits their perspective. | ||

After the first year I set up a bunch of ancient computers from parts that were being thrown out and basically ran a class for ~3rd graders teaching them how to play starcraft broodwar. Very rewarding experience, many of those kids are adults now and I certainly hope many of them still play starcraft. I've posted it before on TL, but here is one of my more prized peices of art work one of my students gifted to me. It was drawn shortly after an hour long lecture/rant I gave the childeren about impropper use of static defense, and how to break players that were employing this tactic (since at their skill level building 500+ photon cannons seemed to be the most effective strategy.) I LOVE IT!! What a great way to help children learn how to reasses their problems to improve their practices.

I am currently sketching more T-Shirt Designs as well, especially for kids. I will be posting them in a few weeks when I have time to make them screen-print-ready/printer-ready. | ||
