Being shown my daughter’s test paper result for Computer subject, I am reminded much of an IT-driven generations we are.
Do you know that Primary 1 students are expected to know – storage media such as hard disk and pen drive or input device such as light pen or video cards?
Imagine, expecting 6-year-olds to know what the output is when you press “Shift” key and “?/” key!
Back in the nineties, I had to join a private computer class because there was none offered in school. Unlike now which is part of their syllabus.
Not that I am complaining as this is the technology that they will have be comfortable with from now on.
It’s just a little scary sometimes that we are giving these small kids lessons to be familiar with a technology that we know is not only helpful and educational but also addictive, distracting and potentially a health-hazard.
