LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Linda -
We have used the KMO program in our high school for many years as an
enrichment activity for our GATE (gifted and talented) students -- this
year there isn't a GATE coordinator (at least I haven't heard about one)
so KMO hasn't been done.
I like the program, but then I'm a trivia freak! When I would watch the
kids doing it (the library, of course, was the largest space available
with proper hookups, etc.) I observed that the ones who spoke out the
loudest got the answer keyed in (altho' it was often not the right one).
If you're doing it for fun and socialization, that's OK; if you're going
for the high score, then there has to be some training (and discipline)
taught ahead of time. Once the contest is on, adults are required to
"butt out" so the kids have to have the discipline themselves.
