Is there really any value at all to rote memorization of an outdated GUI they're probably never going to use? Also, >ma students >wat will make them understand Wat am teaching Some teacher he is. If he paid a little more attention to English literacy the kids will be able to RTFM for any software package they want to use regardless of version. Frankly computers in schools do more harm than good. Moving a mouse and clicking things on the screen is quick and easy to pick up once they find themselves needing to use a computer, whereas good reading, writing, mathematics and critical thinking skills are as hard as ever to learn, and will be even after the next big paradigm shift to come after computers. What this teacher is doing is even a bigger waste of time than dicking around on the computer, dicking around on an slow, inaccurate and unusable hand emulation of a computer.
