today's students are very tech savy. They learn their computer skills from many different sources. One main way they do not fear the computer and will walk out on a limb and just dive into anything without fear. As an older student, I fear evrything about the computer.
Students are also "talking" to each other on the internet , text messaging and other computer forms sharing information in terms that they can understand.

********************************
I was talking to a customer from Iowa about this class. they have a program where students work with senior citizens on computer skills. This not only helped the senior citizens but also build more confidence in the students doing the teaching. It also helps the community being more computer savy. Amyh
