21ST CENTURY KIDS
21st Century Kids  - 21st Century Kids is apart of Valentine's Heart Education Program that provides technology to children in poverty.
 
In the December 22, 2005, issue of the Journal of Research in Childhood Education, Sharon Judge wrote her article, The impact of computer technology on academic achievement of young African American children states, “the rapid growth of children's access to computers and the Internet in the United States is impressive. Statistics suggest that as of 2001, about three-quarters of children between the ages of 5 and 7 use computers at school and 56 percent use computers at home (DeBell & Chapman, 2003). However, a number of research efforts have indicated that technology access and use in U.S. schools is indeed somewhat polarized, with schools serving black, Hispanic, and low socio-economic status (SES) students tending to have the lowest access to, and the most remedial usages of, new technology (Becker, 2000; "Dividing Lines," 2001; Wenglinsky, 1998). In addition, a significant gap in home-computer ownership and Internet access exists between African American and white households (DeBell & Chapman, 2003; Fairlie, 2002; Puma, Chapin, & Pape, 2003; Solomon, 2002)…”

21st Century Kids is goal is to provide 1,000 net books with accessories (mini laptops) to children in poverty at this year's 4th Annual Valentine's Heart School Supply Give a Way. Our goal of raising $260,000.00 can easily be accomplished if just 13,000 people donated $20.00.
