New - 2008 Student Rave Reviews are in!
Previous testimonials....
There have been hundreds of testimonials from students, teachers, parents, homeschoolers, gifted program directors, community technology center directors, and libraries since YDACS began a few years ago. We have posted many of them in the News forum and in the Public Discussions forum but it's challenging to find them so we have also listed them below.
We are just beginning to build this list so it will continue to grow over time so check back often. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and spread the word!
Libraries
Our goal is to enable non-technical Children's and Teen Librarians and staff to facilitate our innovative digital art courses thereby maximizing a library’s existing personnel without hiring “technical” staff to offer innovative digital art courses for their youth from 3rd grade through high school. Here is a quote from a non-technical Teen staff member who facilitated our courses at the Broward Country Public Library:

- 8/5/07 - My son has been taking the Youth Digital Arts Cyberschool Video Game Design classes this past spring. He has learned a lot and has really enjoyed the classes. Particularly the freedom of working at your own pace, online, at any time has made this program very convenient to use. He's gained a great introduction into video game design mechanics and it has helped him define his interests and abilities. The other point that's been really great is the staff assistance. Any question we've had has been answered promptly and efficiently, something you don't often get in the cyber world. I'm looking forward to more interaction with YDACS. My son is looking forward to taking the Videography course next.

- As a homeschooling teacher YDACS has opened the doors to so many options for many of my students. These students were not that excited about school, and sometimes quite difficult to motivate, once they got into the YDACS courses they were so excited.
What I enjoyed most as a teacher was the close monitoring system that YDACS offered. They could tell me everything my students were accomplishing and learning, the YDACS staff was very supportive and helpful. I appreciated the close communication and updates that I received on each student. Thanks for such a positive experience!
