Yup - though all the class literature was careful to use generic names like "spreadsheet software package" instead of naming Excel. We did get some exposure to other platforms though - we were taught about the existence of Netscape Navigator in 2001 - but naturally school computer policy meant we couldn't actually install it to use it. The worst part about my school's IT classes was how we were supposed to officially document our progress by taking a screenshot of the work we did, printing it out, cutting it out with scissors and sticking it into our classbooks with PVA glue - like right out of primary school. The fact we were doing this right into Yr.10 just felt insulting - and surely a better demonstration of IT proficiency would be to maintain our work-logs in a purely electronic format? Isn't using a backwards format like (literally) pasted-in screenshots the antithesis of information technology?
