wondering, with all the neat stuff people have been doing with podcasts,
wikis, blogs, and other forms of interactive media, is there really any
point in my continuing to teach such nuts and bolts stuff as word processing
and spreadsheet use? I keep hearing about how the 7th grader of today won't
be using any of these "old fashioned" tools by the time they're in college,
and so I wonder if continuing to teach them now is just a waste of
everyone's time.
