This was a showcase of teens and young adults who have been at the NMEC this whole time. While they have been here, they have produced video and podcasts.

These students are from St. Louis as well as other states.

it was a good example of how, with just a little direction, technology is so accessible now. Of course, all their work was done on Macs, which, no matter what you think about PCs and Macs, is the easiest way to produce media.

I just want to say one thing about our youth and their views. In our attempt to hear from the youth and what they have to say, I think we need to be careful that we stick to our desire to help them to think for themselves, and not just put our views on them and praise them when they parrot back what we believe. If we really want them to think for themselves, they just may come up with a way of thinking that we don't agree with. I think educators have a big problem with this. Any comments?
