Posted by Dedicated_Hawaiian_Transplant on 10/29/07 On 9/30/07, IMO it should be taught by a business ed teacher in a middle school wrote: > what are your thoughts? What does your school do? Thanks. Dear Dedicated Teachers, I do feel that technology should be taught at schools, starting from the earliest age possible. I am currently a teacher in an low income (Title 1) school. Many of my students do not have computer access at home, thus they must rely on our school for technology support. Since these students are college bound, they need to know how to use a computer and how to type. It is much more beneficial to have them as early as possible because the older these students get, the more difficult it will be teach them how to type. My school doesn't offer a technology class where keyboarding is taught. I am a Science teacher, but I do try to visit the computer lab as much as possible. We also have two portable carts filled with about 40 laptops donated by Northrop Grumman. I try to check these carts out as much as possible in order to expose my students to keyboarding and internet research. From, Dedicated Hawaiian Transplant Los Angeles County Teacher.
