Pretty impressive, don't know if I'd consider ssh a basic computer skills though.. the rest seems rather practical.

- Waterluvian 8y agoI think if ssh is really just "time with a command line" then it's a super valuable exercise. You can remember none of it and still go away with the lesson that the CSI looking thing really ain't that complicated.
- Adaptive 8y agoin so far as ssh is just one of dozens of commands that the girls learn on the command line, it's perhaps not. in so far as it makes them realize that computers are discrete entities that are networked and that this is what the internet actually IS... it's priceless. The first time we connected to a remote machine in a different state it BLEW THEIR MINDS. One of them asked if it was EVEN LEGAL :) It's a single command, yes, but it's also the pivot point for a whole unit on remote access, networking, IP addresses, etc. So consider SSH shorthand for that whole subject.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoCool, it blew my mind the first time I telneted to the east coast or used CUSeeMe to Australia. Glad to see kids can still be impressed.
