Computers are the communication device that dominates modern society -- this list is evidence of that. Therefore, teachers have a responsibility to learn how to use it and incorporate it into their curriculum. I teach freshman comp. in college, and require all students to submit their essays electronically and participate in computer-based discussion forums. When I started doing this in 1999, I had a few students who were reluctant. Today, I don't. I've even had grandmothers in my classes, and after a little extra indoctrination, they became quite comfortable with the modern forum. As a academic source once said, any idiot can use a computer. Yes, I quite agree teachers need to learn how to use computers. Jim Flick [EMAIL PROTECTED]
