students because nothing is context. I show them how to do columns and
footers in Word or formulas in Excel. But, the first they use it in
class for a project, they often need to be re-taught as now it is in
context of some curriculum area.
Personally, I believe in the adage "No technology before its time." I
find that teaching a technology tool works best, is retained better, and
can be transferred more easily if it is taught in the context of a
curriculum project.=20
Just my 2-cents.
