The school district in which I teach is requiring elementary students to stay after school once a week to learn how to navigate through the tests’ technology. The little kids have to learn how to drag and drop (using a mouse not a tablet), how to copy/paste, and what the video symbols mean and how to use them (play, rewind, pause, etc.). At the high school, we are using the third grade practice test to prep the students for the tech issues. As it turns out, children are not as tech savvy as we think when it comes to interactive software and websites. Instagram? No problem. This? Big problem.

After being accepted into a b-school program, I had to take a test to check my PC skills. And I had a BSCS.

A coworker said he brother went to HBS, and a Mac was included n the tuition in the 1980s.

The kids must be thrilled with that.
