Usage?

I think it is amazing how litte most of us use computers during the school day in middle and high schools. The only time I used computers was in computer class or when teacher's had a big assgnment and took us to the computer lab for a class period or 2. At home, I used my computer a lot for research and such but during the actual school day there was no usage at all. Besides the teacher's computer, most middle and high school classrooms I have observed do not even have any extra computers and the computer labs were not used very often. I persoanlly had a lot of free time when finishing work early during class and could have benefited from using supplements on a computer during this free time instead of sitting there and gossping with others around me.

I am going to have to agree with you when you say that in middle and high school you hardly used a computer during school hours. The only time I can really remember being on a computer learing about technology was in the 8th grade for a computers class other than that it was pretty much during my spare time at home. I will have to add that my senior year I was involved in the school newspaper and yearbook and we had access to computers for those classes but as far as learning new technology I only had the one class mentioned before.
