I work with so many teenagers that are unemployed and that is why I created a new wiki. Students can search for jobs and post their findings. This past week, I taught a high school class and was amazed how they did not know how to save a word document properly. Students know hot to use technology for games but sadly lack the skills necessary for employment.
This has changed my instruction because now there is a need for more specificity in my instructions. Instructing students to save a document was not clear to any student. Every student saved the document as document1. I cannot assume that they understand that each word document needs to have a separate file name. Technology is so very important for our students and teachers. I was teaching a lesson plan not created by me and it made me realize that objectives are very important for student success.
