I enjoyed the site very much. It's like a work of art, a tribute to the American Indians. No information, no advertisements, no distractions, just the amazing photographs and the whispers from the past. There is a rhythm in the layout and the colors. Simple, respectful and close to the earth, just like the people. Many websites look like advertising brochures nowadays. But sites like this have an extra, deeper quality. Not too long, not too short, perfectly balanced, a monument for the people represented. I really wish there were more of such sites around. My compliments to the teacher and his students.

The point is that they have struggled with school for a variety of reasons and some one came along who decided not to give up on these 'problem' students and taught them something useful. Yes, Sid, multimedia classes are totally useful in high school. Having computer skills is a necessity these days and these kids have just opened up several different job opportunities for themselves.

If they never experience that, they have no investment in staying in school or finding any value in traditional subjects. Sounds like this project might really help.

Just the same, I question the inclusion of "Multimedia Studies" in the government school curriculum. Sounds like nice stuff to learn on your own or at trade school, but not on the taxpayers' dime. Keep it Math, Science, English, History (note that I did NOT say Social Studies), Geography, and Foreign Languages. The rest of it is fluff that detracts from the important. But like I said, nice job on the end result. It sounds like a good thing to do at a neighborhood center or after school somehow. They did a nice job.
